Vitamin C actually enhances the absorption of non-heme iron (the type of iron found in plant-based foods) rather than slowing it down. It does this by converting iron to a more absorbable form and by preventing the formation of insoluble complexes that can inhibit absorption. However, high doses of vitamin C can interact with certain iron supplements, potentially affecting their absorption. Overall, vitamin C is beneficial for iron absorption when consumed together with iron-rich foods.
What else can I help you with?
Is liposomal vit c a better vit c?
Liposomal Vitamin C is better as absorption rate is high & is more efficient. Whereas the absorption rate is too low in normal intake of Vitamin C.

What nutrients plays an important role in preventing anemia?
Iron, mostly. But in order for iron to be absorbed, vitamin C is necessary. Absorption of iron is inhibited by natural substances found in tea or coffee, so people with iron deficiency anaemia should avoid tea and coffee for half an hour before taking the iron or iron-rich food. As vit C is needed for iron to be absorbed, it would be best to have tomato juice or orange juice or any other vit C rich drink when you take your iron tablet or eat an iron-rich meal. Vit B6 and Vit B12 are also necessary for red blood cell formation.

iron
Which mineral's absorption is enhanced greatly by vitamin C?
Vitamin C is needed for the absorption and uptake of iron. Iron supplements alone are often ineffective without adequate levels of vitamin C in the body.
What vitamin helps absorption of iron?
Vitamin C is used to enhance the absorption of iron in the body. Vitamin C also commonly known as ascorbic acid can be found in many citrus fruits. Because overdosage of iron in the body is very harmful even lethal in certain cases, one should exercise caution when taking iron pills.
Does vitamin c impair iron absorption?
Yes, vitamin C can enhance iron absorption by promoting the conversion of non-heme iron (found in plant-based foods) to a form more easily absorbed by the body. Consuming vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits, alongside iron-rich foods can help improve iron absorption.
How does the combination of iron and vitamin C enhance the body's absorption of nutrients?
When iron and vitamin C are consumed together, the vitamin C helps the body absorb more iron from the food. This is because vitamin C helps convert the iron into a form that is easier for the body to absorb, leading to better nutrient absorption.
