What can cause low absorption of iron (ferritin 39) & omega3 fatty acid (hdl cholesterol 35) for 50+ female even after taking the right diet ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vit C: There are many reasons for vitamin deficiency. To absorb iron you must take vitamin C as well. If person taking any kind of anti acid- omeprazole, nexium, (esomeprazole) and others of this type- it will decrease absorption of many nutritional substances.
