Zinc competes with copper and calcium for the same transporter. Take with a meal moderate in those minerals and rich in protein for steadier uptake.
B12 absorption requires stomach acid + intrinsic factor; taking with a meal stimulates both. Plant-heavy meals also under-supply B12, making supplementation more impactful.
If the meal's iron is plant-based (non-heme), pair with the vitamin C in the recipe to boost absorption 2-3×. Avoid coffee or tea within 1h.
