I know thyroid hormone is best taken 4 hours away from iron, calcium, Vit D, Magnesium. And iron should be taken away 2 hours away from all supplements.
BUT my question is should iron be taken away from food or best with food?
I usually take Vit C with iron to increase absorption.
ALSO, I read some people say take it away from eggs, is that true?
Goodness! I've never seen that. Do they say why?
I, personally, would take iron away from food. I don't think that's because that's because food would block the absorption of iron, but that iron would block the absorption of other nutrients in the food. But, I have a feeling it depends on the type of iron. The one I take at the moment says on the PIL, to take either with or without food, according to doctor's instructions (like they would know!). So, I don't really know about that. But, you certainly do need a source of vit C at the same time to aid absorption and protect the stomach. Even when eating iron-rich foods, like liver, you should eat a source of vit C at the same time. Like potatoes, or some vit C-rich veggie.
It is documented!

Oh, OK, so basically, they are saying take it away from food, which is what I thought. So, I don't know why it says what it says in the PIL...
I have always understood there to be a conflict. With food helps (supposedly) to reduce stomach upset which is all too common with iron supplements. Whereas best absorption likely achieved by taking away from food - but with ascorbic acid.
As usual, the words don't convey the reasons.

Problem I notice with all these different meds etc... take it here; don’t take there; take with this that or the other; take them standing up; only take bent over; only use this water or that; don’t take them if it’s too cold etc... etc... you see what I’m getting at.
It’s a minefield, almost like a full-time job trying to remember what to take and when. It’s okay if one is sat at a desk all day, or at home all the time, but if like me, who works outdoors in all weathers and conditions as a tv cameraman it’s nigh on impossible to integrate a regime with certain times to take meds so they all go in at the same time usually in the mornings; doc says that’s okay too.
