Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Consuming vitamin C can enhance the absorption of iron, so a glass of orange juice would be the best choice to consume with an iron supplement. Milk and eggs contain calcium and phytates, which can inhibit iron absorption. Castor oil is not recommended for consumption as it can have laxative effects.
