L-ascorbic acid — increases fractional iron absorption (erythrocyte isotope incorporation)
Evidence strength: very limited.Findingreplicated ×1“AA (molar ratio to iron, 2:1 or 4:1) increased iron absorption by 270% or 343%, respectively, in control subjects and by 291% or 350%, respectively, in subjects with IDA (P < 0.001).”

- crossover
- Dose
- Ascorbic acid at molar ratio to iron of 2:1 or 4:1 added to a reference rice meal
- Population
- Young Indian women, 10 with iron deficiency anaemia and 10 iron replete controls, fed a rice meal with or without added ascorbic acid; both groups pooled in the claim
