Answer 1

Calcium citrate does not interact with iron in any manner.
Besides using calcium citrate as a calcium source gives good results because of good absorption of the citrate ion.

Iron is absorbed well when given in the Ferrous ion form along with a counter ion like dextrate, citrate etc.
The calcium and iron absorption pathways are different.
Thats why they can be administered simultaneously.

Answer 2

You might be confuse. Vitamin C is the compound that is usually in combination with iron to increase iron's absorption.
