1785 iron tonic: 2 oz of iron filings in 2 pints of w**e. 🍷 Please don't.
That recipe came from Buchan's Domestic Medicine, a popular home guide (doctors like Sydenham had prescribed iron filings in w**e too; Poskitt, Br J Haematol 2003).
The modern version is way easier: in a 2023 study of iron-depleted women, coffee cut iron absorption from a supplement by 54%, while 80 mg of vitamin C raised it 30% (von Siebenthal et al., Am J Hematol 2023).

âś… Keep coffee and tea away from iron-rich meals
âś… Check often so you know your baseline
