Can you take shellazo SR in the evening after dinner, in which dairy products such as cheese or eggs have been eaten? I know that in the case of regular iron you should keep an interval of about 2 hours, but the supplement leaflet contains information to take immediately after a meal and whether the extended-release form in this case reduces the risk of lower absorption?

Yes, Szelazo + SR in extended-release form can be taken in the evening after dinner with dairy products such as cheese or eggs. The extended-release form reduces the risk of lower iron absorption compared to regular iron supplementation.
The iron chelate and vitamins in Szelazo + SR are released gradually, which facilitates their absorption regardless of the time of intake and the composition of the meal. In addition, the presence of vitamin C in the preparation increases the absorption of iron.
Therefore, in the case of Szelazo + SR, there is no need to keep a time interval from a meal containing dairy products, unlike ordinary iron supplementation. The leaflet of the preparation recommends taking it immediately after a meal.
