Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question.
Coming to your question, deoxrange contains iron supplements and it is best absorbed when taken with vitamin C. So i would advise you to take deoxrange along with food containing vitamin C and avoid tea or coffee while taking iron, because tea or coffee will reduce its absorption. You can also increase the legume intake in your food before taking iron.

So mostly iron is taken best with foods having vitamin C and legumes, while it is least absorbed when taken along with tea or coffee.

Hope this answers your question and let me know any of your further relevant queries directly.
