Absorption of dietary iron is increased by eating iron-rich foods with vitamin C foods (citrus fruits) and lactic acid (sauerkraut and yogurt). Cooking food in cast-iron pots can also add to their iron content.

Does the body replenish iron?

Yes, the body can replenish iron, but it does so at a relatively slow rate. Iron is primarily obtained through dietary sources such as red meat, poultry, fish, beans, and leafy greens. The body regulates iron levels through absorption in the intestines; when iron stores are low, absorption increases. However, excess iron is not easily excreted, which can lead to toxicity if intake is too high.
