Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin C is the only dietary constituent other than animal tissue that has been shown to promote the absorption of nonheme iron in humans.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Those suffering from iron deficiency need Vitamin C as well. Presence of Vitamin C facilitates iron absorption in the body. To beat iron-deficiency, you need to consume both iron rich foods and Vitamin C rich foods, and supplements if required.
