Doc gave me iron tablets and im also taking a protein powder. Someone told me kuch cheezein saath nahi leni chahiye. So can both go together or alag alag time pe?
Oh god, my brain is too tired to calculate everything, but yes, you can eat them together! I literally eat peanut butter on toast and my iron tablet side by side. Just don't wash down that iron pill with a glass of milk, okay?
With two babies growing inside, I was practically swallowing a pharmacy daily. Yes, iron and protein are friends, but calcium is the third wheel that ruins the absorption! Keep your dairy and calcium pills separate from iron.
Yes, it's totally safe to have iron and protein together. My doctor told me to keep checking my blood levels regularly because thyroid and iron both need proper monitoring. Just space out your calcium and iron pills by a few hours.
They are a wonderful combination, dear! In fact, eating iron-rich foods with protein is very good for your strength and baby's growth. Just have a citrus fruit or some lemon juice with it to help absorb the iron even better.
Actually, iron and protein are great to have together, and they don't block each other. Many protein-rich foods like dal, lean chicken, and eggs already have iron. Just make sure to avoid calcium and dairy when taking your iron supplement.
