Açai – is it a good source of iron
Dr. Wald’s response: “If you are iron anemic and taking nutritional supplements, taking Açai is no problem whatsoever. If the form of iron that you are taking is of plant (non-animal origin) then it is non-heme iron. Non-heme iron is not very absorbable, but you will increase its absorption by eating Açai, which is high in vitamin C and flavonoids – both of which increase non-heme iron absorption. Iron from animal sources is heme iron, which is far more absorbable, compared to non-heme (plant-based iron).” Check out Dr. Wald’s nutritional products at: www.blooddetective.com especially Reds Protect, Green’s Detox and Longevity Complete.
