Hello,

Thanks in advance :)
Hello, many factors affect absorption. However, it is around 50%. Have a nice day.
Hello, for a 14 year old athlete, is Vitamin C with or without iron better? Thank you for the answer
Hi Matthias, vitamin C promotes iron absorption, so if the goal is to supplement iron, the combination is suitable. However, if the goal is to supplement only vitamin C, it can be taken alone, iron does not affect its absorption. Have a nice day.
So if I'm looking at the benefits of just vitamin C without the iron that I get from it so are there benefits here with the iron?
Hi, yes, vitamin C is the same in both products :). Have a nice day.
Hello, how much does one tablet contain of iron and vitamin C, I don't see it anywhere. Thank you for the answer :)

Hello, is it possible to take the supplement while breastfeeding?
Hello, we recommend that you consult your GP about the use of this product. Have a nice day.
Hello, I have found quite a few sources that say that iron is best used by the body on an empty stomach (ideally on an empty stomach, if it is digestible for the person, or with a sufficient distance between meals, 2 hours for example). What is your reason for recommending taking iron with food? Is it a different formulation of the product or something else?
Hi Barbara, isolated vitamins and minerals are generally better absorbed when taken with food, as food contains additional trace elements that help with absorption. Fasting can cause nausea for some people if they have a more sensitive stomach.
Conversely, iron should not be taken with calcium (dairy products), which reduces its absorption, as does tea or coffee. Have a nice day :).
Hello,
when will the supplement be available again? Or what other brand of iron and vitamin C supplement would you recommend for pregnancy?

Hello,
is it possible to take this supplement together with the Vilgain multivitamin? Is it advisable to consume both supplements together?
Thank you
Hi, yes, since the Vilgain multivitamin does not contain iron, a combination of these two products is possible.
