Dose or timing may matter
The short answer
White Oak Bark is extremely high in tannins, which strongly bind iron and reduce its absorption significantly.
How to arrange timing
Separate White Oak Bark and iron supplements by at least 3 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.
