Bioavailability Synergy

Ascorbate Iron Reduction (+200-400% Bioavailability)

Lemon juice, bell peppers or citrus (Vitamin C)

Vitamin C reduces ferric Fe3+ to ferrous Fe2+ at the duodenal brush border, preventing insoluble tannin/phytate binding and multiplying absorption up to 4-fold.

Add 15-20ml fresh lemon juice or 30g raw bell pepper.

-56% - 85%Non-heme Iron (Fe3+)

Polyphenol Iron Chelation (-56% to -85% Absorption)

Tea catechins (EGCG) and coffee chlorogenic acids bind dietary ferric iron, forming insoluble coordination complexes that brush-border transporters cannot absorb.

Separate tea or coffee intake by 60 to 90 minutes from this meal.

Consumer Food Composition Software Utility Notice

Nutritional and biochemical composition data for this food are compiled from open public reference databases (USDA FoodData Central, ANSES CIQUAL, and Open Food Facts) strictly for culinary modeling and educational food-science awareness. Unitrition is a consumer software utility and does not provide medical advice or individual dietary plans.

Methodological note on PRAL acid-base balance: In accordance with Unitrition mineral null-safety principles, missing mineral values (potassium, phosphorus, calcium, or magnesium) are never imputed as 0.0 mg (zero-value fallacy prohibition). Where analytic mineral data are unmeasured or incomplete, calculations reflect uncertainty to prevent spurious alkalizing projections.
