Detailed explanation-1: -Ascorbic acid is actively involved in the control of iron metabolism. It has long been known to enhance absorption of iron from test meals.
Detailed explanation-2: -Consuming iron and vitamin C together may be better than alone, increasing absorption of non-heme (plant) sources of iron. Iron is a vital nutrient that contributes to the correct functioning of the human body. It is found in red blood cells and transports oxygen throughout the body through the blood stream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vitamin C is best consumed in a raw state. The best way to consume vitamin C for optimum absorption is to supplement it together with iron. This is why it is commonplace to drink orange juice with your cereal. The iron in the cereal helps you to better absorb the vitamin C in the orange juice.
