It is usually recommended that iron supplements, including Chela-Ferr, be taken after a meal rather than on an empty stomach. Taking iron on an empty stomach can lead to stomach irritation and gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain may occur. In the case of iron supplements, it is usually recommended that they be taken with a meal rich in vitamin C, as vitamin C can help with better absorption of iron. Iron absorption may be limited if the preparation is taken in particular with coffee, tea, eggs, dairy products, whole grain bread, cereals and other foods rich in fiber.
