A member asked:
Can you take betaine hcl and iron pill at the same time, to increase iron absorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not proven: Betaine has not been proven to help by itself or in dietary aids. Iron is principally absorbed in the small intestine. The recommendation is to take iron on an empty stomach with orange juice or another source of readily available ascorbic acid.
