Okay I get low iron. My doctor gives me iron pills to take. Sometimes my iron gets so low I start to shake really bad My head starts to hurt bad and it starts to spin I drink 1-2 cups of o j and within 5 minutes I‘m fine.
OJ enhanced with iron is good but never take your iron supplements WITH orange juice because they counteract each other, aka the oj will lower the absorption of iron into your blood stream. but it is good to take them after a meal :) there are a lot of high iron foods though that you should look into - like DARK meats and dark greens because food naturally high in iron is the easiest way for your body to absorb it good luck!
Orange juice helps with the absorption of iron. Although OJ does need the additional iron. Perhaps your body has trouble absorbing iron. Keep your primary care physician in the loop. Explain that OJ helps you and ask if it is the fact your body is not absorbing the iron. Good Luck Cats
Yes it is fineGood Luck. Iron supplements can be taken over several months to increase iron levels in the blood. Iron supplements can cause irritation of the stomach and discoloration of bowel movements. They should be taken on an empty stomach, or with orange juice, to increase absorption.
