Can You Take Iron and Luteolin Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Luteolin is a flavonoid with strong iron-chelating properties that can significantly reduce non-heme iron absorption.

How to arrange timing

Separate Luteolin 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.
