Iron Absorption
The body absorbs approximately 25% of the iron in meat, fish and poultry. However, absorption of iron from cereals, vegetables and fruits is significantly lower.
Iron absorption in these foods is improved if eaten at the same time as:
Vitamin C in citrus fruits, berries, kiwi fruit, peppers and potatoes
Fructose in fruits and fruit juices
Meat and fish protein
Iron absorption is lowered when eaten with the following foods. Try to eat these separately from iron rich foods:
Eggs
Bran
Tea
