Can You Take Iron and Witch Hazel (Oral) Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Witch Hazel (oral use) is extremely high in tannins, which strongly chelate iron and can reduce iron absorption by 50% or more.

How to arrange timing

Separate oral Witch Hazel and iron supplements by at least 3 hours due to high tannin content.

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.
