Inorganic iron is frequently associated with stomach upsets. However, by utilising organic molecules such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and malic acid to improve absorption, people who are generally sensitive to iron supplementation tolerate iron without upset. It has been known for many years that malic acid found naturally in apples and vitamin C found in oranges acts as a biologically active mineral transporter for molecular iron by changing ferric iron III to ferric iron II.
