Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 http://www.veetea.com/site/articles/Tea-and-Iron Has good explanation. Yes, it seems it does. I don't drink green tea. I stopped using ALA and grape pips because I heard it chelates iron. > > I drink tons of green tea and I read that it inhibits iron absorption.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I believe both green and black teas have tannins that inhibit iron absorption. I didn't give up my tea, but I do drink it at least 4 hours away from my iron dose. > > I drink tons of green tea and I read that it inhibits iron absorption.

Now I need to give up tea too??? > > I drink tons of green tea and I read that it inhibits iron absorption.
