Stop taking your Iron tablets like this! It’s doing absolutely nothing. ❌🛑
If you are washing down your Iron supplement with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of milk, your body isn’t absorbing it. You are doing the work of taking your medication every day, but your body isn’t reaping any of the benefits.
Here’s why your current routine is keeping you tired:
📉 The Blockers (Tea/Coffee/Milk/Shelcal): Tannins in tea, caffeine in coffee, and calcium in milk or calcium supplements act like a brick wall in your stomach. They physically bind to iron, blocking your body from absorbing it.
🚀 The OG Booster (Vitamin C / Limcee): Iron needs an acidic environment to activate and enter your system. Pairing your iron supplement with Vitamin C converts the iron into a form your body can easily absorb. It’s the ultimate elite combination to get your energy levels back up! 🤝🍊
🔄 How to fix your routine:
Take your Iron tablet with a glass of fresh citrus juice or a chewable Vitamin C like Limcee.
Wait at least 2 hours before or after your iron dose to have tea, coffee, milk, or your Calcium supplements (Shelcal).
Save this reel to fix your routine, and share it with a friend who is always complaining about feeling exhausted! 🩸✨
