    Women during menstruation, menstrual blood contains hemoglobin, plasma protein and hemoglobin, which also contains a lot of iron. The lost iron can only be supplemented by food, so women need to eat more iron-rich foods during or after menstruation. The strong tea contains more than 30 tannic acid, which will combine with the iron in food to form insoluble tannic acid iron salt, hindering the absorption and utilization of iron molecules in the intestinal mucosa. Menstrual blood loss, iron loss from tea drinking, drinking tea at this time, not only can not fill blood in time, but it is very easy to cause iron deficiency anemia.
