Guest guest Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 From what I understand, the iron in plant sources isn't as absorbable as others. If you experiment with spinach, etc... then I would also consume something with it that has a high vit C content because the C helps these iron sources absorb better.John Ybarra <deuteronomy2929 wrote: --- Don Quai <mysticalherbalist wrote:> Hi John,> > Just a side note, but have you done a search for> iron toxicity???
