Please consult your GP before taking any vitamin supplements. There are many wrong ways and right ways of taking vitamin supplements. Iron supplements if taken in high doses can cause serious side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation. To avoid upset stomach and diarrhoea, do not take higher than 2 grams dose of vitamin C on the same day.Now the answer to your question, yes vit C and iron can be taken on the same day as according to a research , vit C helps in iron absorption.
