To optimize the effect of iron supplements, it is best to take them on an empty stomach, ideally 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. However, this may cause more digestive side effects like stomach aches or nausea for some individuals. If you experience these side effects, it is okay to take the supplements with a little food to reduce them. Additionally, to enhance absorption and effectiveness of the iron supplement, consider taking Vitamin C at the same time, either as a supplement or through foods rich in Vitamin C, such as orange juice.
