Nutrition fact of the day: Iron is absorbed better when paired with vitamin C

Youve been taking iron supplements, eating spinach, and tracking your diet, but the numbers arent budging, and your energy is still low. The problem may not be how much iron youre getting, its whether your body is actually absorbing it. Science shows that a simple, everyday nutrient can dramatically boost iron absorption, turning efforts into real results. Iron is essential for carrying oxygen in the blood, supporting energy production, and keeping your immune system strong. But simply eating iron-rich foods or taking supplements isnt always enough, especially if most of your iron comes from plant sources (non-heme iron). Vitamin C acts as a powerful enhancer. It chemically converts iron into a form the body can absorb more efficiently. This means that pairing iron-rich foods with vitamin C-rich foods can make a real difference in improving your iron levels and boosting energy over time.
