L-ascorbic acid — increases fractional iron absorption (erythrocyte isotope incorporation)
Evidence strength: very limited.Findingreplicated ×1“Fortifying the milk with an equimolar amount of ascorbic acid increased the fractional iron absorption almost 2-fold to 1.58% (95% CI: 1.13, 2.22).”
Quoted verbatim from Effect of ascorbic acid rich, micro-nutrient fortified supplement on the iron bioavailability of ferric pyrophosphate from a milk based beverage in Indian school children.. - Study
- crossover
- Dose
- ascorbic acid in equimolar ratio to 7 mg iron in a fortified milk beverage
- Population
- 25 mildly anemic Indian school children; double-blind two-way crossover; both arms received milk with isotopically labelled ferric pyrophosphate iron and calcium, ascorbic acid added in the test arm only
