How much vitamin C does it take to boost your absorption? Does it just boost absorption or does it double it? Has this been covered already?

glenni--Don't know the exact answer to your question. My Hematologist said to take vitamin C didn't say how much. You can do this with juice, fruit and tabs at the time of iron intake. I wouldn't take a high dose.

My iron supplement doesn't need Vitamin-C added for absorption. The Hematologist didn't know that or didn't think about it when he told me to take C. The GI did tell me I don't have to add C to this type. FLFLOWERGIRL:)
