Herbalist tips

  • Take your dose with a snack or meal that includes Vitamin C such as kiwifruit, citrus fruits, broccoli or tomatoes. Vitamin C helps iron absorption.
  • Best to avoid coffee, caffeinated drinks and foods high in calcium such as dairy products for at least an hour after taking Iron Boost - these are iron inhibitors.
  • Phytates in raw beans, seeds and grains as well as raw legumes such as chickpeas can also inhibit iron absorption. Cook these ones before eating.
  • You could time your dose to combat that mid-afternoon energy low - it will satisfy the craving for something sweet but without the sugar.
  • Monitor your iron levels closely if you're following a vegan diet or getting all your iron from plants - it's more difficult for your body to absorb iron solely from plant sources.
