Some compounds are found naturally in foods that will limit iron absorption. The following foods, when eaten in large quantity, may prevent iron from being absorbed from the foods you eat.

When you eat foods that contain more vitamin C - like those below, you will increase the body's absorption of iron from foods.
Whole grain cereals and breads - the phytates and fibers may block absorption
Milk and dairy products - the calcium and phosphorus may block absorption

Teas and coffee - Tannic acid found in tea / coffee may prevent iron absorption
