The vitamin C is helpfull in absorption of iron in the body,so its always suggested to take citrus fruits along with main meals to help iron absorption.on the other hand milk hampers iron absorption and should never be taken near or after main meals.

Yes its vitamin C that helps iron get absorbed but it blocks the absorption of calcium.

Eat food rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, along with iron-rich food (spinach, garden peas, broccoli, salmon steak, roast beef, liver pate, boiled eggs and so on). Also be aware that caffeine can inhibit the absorption of iron...

Simple! just drink a glass of o. j. and a head of broccoli and you will see your iron absorption in your system. Anytime that you want vitamins to be absorbed by your body take liquid form of vitamin c; not supplement, please!

A healthy immune system. Only your doctor can tell you what to do as what helps one may not be the answer for others. Things like stress, smoking, alcohol, family history & lifestyle choices all contribute but only your gp can give you the right answers.
