So I should take infin-c before my meals that have the most iron?

If you are looking to improve absorption of iron in plant-based foods, yes. Iron found in plant-based foods is called non-heme iron, and vitamin C improves the ability of the body to absorb that form.

Vitamin C won't really affect the absorption of heme iron, or iron found in meat, fish, and poultry. Vegans should absolutely be taking a good vitamin C supplement.
