My doctor told me to take my iron with food its the calcium that prevents you from absorbing the iron...take it with any type of juice the vitamin C will helo absorb and make sure you drink LOTS of water because it changes the ordor of your urine.

Take them with a big glass of orange juice. Either 1 hour before you eat or 2 hours after. Your body can't absorb the iron on a full stomach and you might wind up coming back up and trust me, its horrible when that happens. But definitely take with orange juice. The vitamin c and citric acid helps with absorbing iron
