Does Calcium Inhibit Iron Absorption?
Yes, calcium can inhibit the absorption of iron in the body. This is a well-documented interaction, as both calcium and iron use similar pathways for absorption in the intestines. When consumed together in large amounts, calcium can reduce the efficiency of iron absorption.
Impact of Calcium in Our Recovery Product
Our recovery product contains a small amount of calcium, but the quantity is low enough that it will have a minimal impact on iron absorption. Calcium is included for its role in muscle recovery and overall health, but the level is carefully managed to ensure it does not significantly interfere with the absorption of iron or other nutrients.
Why You Don't Need to Worry
Because the amount of calcium in our recovery product is limited, it is unlikely to significantly affect how your body absorbs iron from other foods or supplements. However, if you are concerned about iron levels, it's always a good idea to speak with a healthcare professional.
