Iron is something we get asked most about! So here’s a little guide to optimise your iron status before hitting supplements and infusions.
As a guide men should aim for 8mg iron a day, with menstruating women requiring 18mg a day - not always so easy!
Pair your non-haem iron sources (anything vegetarian) with vitamin C rich foods to optimise absorption - citrus, capsicum, kiwi, berries, etc.
Separate tea and coffee from iron-rich meals by at least an hour to prevent it interfering with absorption.
