As I'm always conscious of my iron levels (I've been taking iron for about 15 years), I was intrigued about the Blackstrap Molasses. Haven't eaten any since I was a teenager! Naturally, I checked out a few articles, and found this piece to be particularly interesting and might start eating some to help with my Osteoporosis problem!
It’s important to note that while the iron content of blackstrap molasses is relatively high, calcium will interfere with its absorption. Therefore, using the molasses to increase iron levels isn’t nutritionally sound. On the other hand, using the molasses to increase calcium and magnesium levels makes more sense.
