Why the gap helps
Coffee and tea contain compounds that may bind to iron and reduce how much your body takes in. Having them at the same time is not dangerous, but you may get less benefit from the iron.
A practical habit is to enjoy your coffee first, then take iron an hour or two later — or take iron well before your morning coffee.
A routine you won't forget
Because iron is often about timing around meals and drinks, a reminder helps. Pillog lets you set a time, check it off from the notification, and see your month as a card — all stored on your phone, with no account and no ads.
Iron needs vary a lot from person to person, so follow the guidance your doctor or pharmacist gives you.
