Can You Take Iron and Jabuticaba Together?
May affect absorption
The short answer
Jabuticaba is extremely rich in anthocyanins and ellagitannins, polyphenols that strongly chelate iron and significantly reduce non-heme iron absorption.
How to arrange timing
Separate Jabuticaba and iron supplements by at least 2 hours.

Important context
Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
