Eat Vitamin C-Rich Foods to Boost Iron Absorption

Iron alone isn't always enough — how well your body absorbs it matters just as much. Vitamin C is known to enhance non-heme iron absorption from plant-based foods.

Good Combinations

• Spinach with lemon juice
• Lentils with tomatoes
• Iron-fortified cereal with orange juice

Adding a source of Vitamin C to your meals can make a noticeable difference in your iron levels over time.
