Abstract Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays a number of important roles in the body, including enhancing the absorption of iron. Vitamin C also aids in red blood cell production. There was a positive correlation between level of haemoglobin with iron and vitamin C (Resmi et al., 2017). The effect of vitamin C supplementations on iron status in Chinese children indicated that vitamin C supplement was effective in correcting iron deficiency (Mao and Yao, 1992). |
