A member asked:
How long am i suppose to wait to drink tea after taking an iron supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 2 hours: You should wait until the iron is absorbed from your stomach before drinking tea. You can take orange juice with the iron to increase your absorption (as long as the oj does not have calcium added).
