Hey guys,

I finally got around to buying some orange juice and then couldn't remember what vitamins/minerals/supplements are absorbed better with oj then other drinks. Please advise!

i know iron is absorbed better with oj because thats how my doctor has me take my 3 iron pills a day.

Calcium is also better absorbed with orange juice.

I'm surprised you can drink orange juice....with iron supplements no less. I can't take either without getting severe abdominal pain and cramping, nausea and vomiting. Kudos to you who can tolerate it....calcium does a number on my stomack as well.

Vitamin C helps Iron absorb better into the body. When my 1st child was almost 1 year he was severely low in iron. His Dr told me to give him OJ with his iron supplement. Also he said there is vitamin c in ketchup so I started giving it to him with every meal so the iron in the meat would absorb better. I created a monster though cause he is almost 10 years old and he loves ketchup I have noticed I can't drink much OJ. It makes me get D and cramps sometimes. i can have some with food though. if I try to have it alone I get into trouble. Karen
