Does Iron Bisglycinate interact with Methyl-B12?

Written to our editorial standards · reviewed against published research· Updated 2 Jun 2026
Take together· moderate evidence

Both build healthy red blood cells.

Iron and B12 fix different causes of anaemia and fatigue: iron shortage causes small, pale red cells, while B12 (or folate) shortage causes large, immature ones, so checking and correcting both covers the common nutritional anaemias.

What to do

Fine to take together, but take iron away from calcium, tea, and coffee, which block its absorption, and pair it with vitamin C instead. Get the cause of any anaemia diagnosed rather than guessing, since the treatment depends on which deficiency you have.
