I tried doing kavaforums and google searches about how much iron kava has - what I found was that it has 0% for 1 T but that might change the larger the volume. Someone made a comment that kava kava does have iron. More importantly, does anyone know if kava can increase the absorption of iron from food similarly to how alcohol does? I am trying to decrease my iron load. There were a couple of posts that made it sound like kava might actually decrease iron absorption (which would be great for me) but it wasn't clear to me. TIA!!
