On the iron overload sites I have visited, the recommendation is
simply not to take vit C with meals. It is fine to take vit C between
meals away from iron containing drinks and foods. Info I read at the
Livon Labs site indicates that liposomal C passes from the stomach or
intestines into the blood stream and thus to the liver, where it is
processed. If true, that means it would not affect iron absorption,
or at least that portion of the product which is truly liposomal
would not. Because making it at home does not produce a 100%
liposomal product, I am being cautious and taking my C mix between meals.
Iron absorption from meals can be at least partially blocked by
drinking coffee or black tea with each meal. Also there are
blocking/chelating supplements such as IP-6 and alpha lipoic acid
that are said to help block/remove iron. Taking calcium iwth meals
also blocks some iron absorption.
Conversely taking Betaine HCL with meals increases iron absorption
from that meal.

Hi John, group,
I have read that Vit C increases iron uptake and you know excess iron
could be a problem.
Did some of you taking vit C had increased iron in blood tests ? Is
liposomal C better in this sense ?
