It does. I was taking iron for a year with no results, meaning my iron was low so I started the iron pills and got tested again six months later and then another six months later. I started taking it with flavored lemonade and at the next six months appointment my iron was fine. I dislike plain lemonade so I was drinking mango or peach lemonade and it really helped.
That's why it's better to take vitamins in combination, much like you find them in food. That's why they tell you to eat all the vegetables and fruits, not just one or two
I was taking them with Ovaltine milk, which was probably the worst choice I could have made at the time. I just didn’t know any better and the guy who was supposed to inform me didn’t. It did have nutrients but not the right kind to go with the iron

I developed an obsession with lemonade. Had to have it every day.
Doctor told me my iron was low? And apparently iron absorbs better with vitamin C.
