Vitamin A helps your body use iron.

Vitamin A helps mobilise iron from the body's stores and supports red-blood-cell formation, so adequate vitamin A improves the response to iron, and combined deficiency is a common cause of stubborn anemia in some populations.

What to do

If you are correcting low iron, make sure vitamin A status is adequate too, from foods like liver, eggs, dairy, and orange vegetables, or a modest supplement. Take iron with vitamin C for absorption, and avoid high-dose vitamin A in pregnancy.
