There is some evidence to support the impact of calcium on iron absorption, albeit from short-term studies focused on this interaction with single meals. On the other hand, long-term studies have found that calcium and milk products donât have any adverse effect on iron absorption. Unfortunately this isnât a simple case of yes or no â hence the controversy! The actual mechanism of the interaction of calcium and iron absorption is not well understood. The general consensus is that calcium can interfere with iron absorption on a short term basis.
It is important to keep in mind that calcium and iron share a nutrient-nutrient inhibitory absorptive interaction. Iron absorption in post-surgery anemic patients can be inhibited to up 50% and more if the iron supplements are taken along with calcium supplements or dairy products.The inhibiting effects of calcium phosphate, calcium citrate, and calcium carbonate on iron, zinc, and magnesium have been noticed in studies.alcium citrate supplements can be taken any time during the day. Since vitamin D is important for the absorption of calcium by the body, care should be taken that adequate levels of vitamin D are present in the body post-bariatric surgery.
