BY Ina Barton 2018-05-11Clinical studies have confirmed that mild to poisoning iron deficiency anemia can be effectively cured by taking vitamin C (without iron supplementation). The principle is that vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in other foods. This is because, in the intestine, only divalent iron (Fe2+, reduced iron) can be absorbed, while ferric iron (Fe3+, oxidized iron) cannot be absorbed. Vitamin C has a strong reducing ability, which can keep iron in the state of absorbable bivalent iron, thereby promoting iron absorption.8
