Hey all
I was wondering, how much time should I allow between my vitamin C (I take 1.5 grams, twice daily) and eating any iron containing foods (I don't take iron supplements)? Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron and I'd like to avoid that.
Thanks
Plasma saturation of vitamin C is around 400-500mg
Ok thanks, but do you know how much time I should allow from any foods containing iron?

What's your reason for avoiding iron?
My iron levels were borderline high on my last blood test, and that was BEFORE I started taking vitamin C.
I tried donating blood but I just couldn't do it.
90 minutes should be plenty.
Why are you dosing vitamin C? Especially @3g a day?
Ok thanks, sounds easy enough.
I'm combining it with MSM powder, they work together

I recently started a high dosage of vitamin c regimen to test a few things and how my body reacts. So far I feel much better overall. My intake is around 4-5g

Yeah I'm wondering though, like somebody mentioned, maybe 1.5 grams at a time is excessive, and it would be better to take 500mg at a time throughout the day until I reach 3 grams.
OP are you the one taking 30g of MSM powder?
