Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency aeamia is common in children, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, where diets are typically low in bioavailable iron and infections are prevalent. As vitamin C enhances non-heme iron absorption, this review explores current evidence on its role in improving iron status in children. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar and included studies published from January 2000 to June 2025. Search terms combined keywords related to “vitamin C”, “iron absorption”, “supplementation”, “fortification”, “children”, and “anemia”. Results: Iron absorption in children is influenced by iron form, dietary factors, and developmental stage, with infants and young children at greatest risk of deficiency. Vitamin C is an enhancer of non-heme iron absorption, counteracting inhibitors such as phytates and calcium. Trials combining oral iron with vitamin C supplementation generally showed greater increases in hemoglobin and ferritin compared with iron alone, particularly among children with iron deficiency. Evidence from fortification studies is limited and varies due to differences in study design. Conclusion: Vitamin C co-supplementation might improve iron status in children. However, existing evidence remains insufficient to support specific recommendations for children.

Abstract

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain a major global health challenge, including in Indonesia. Healthy and balanced diet is one of the key strategies to prevent NCDs. Nutrition literacy, defined as the ability to understand and apply nutritional information in daily life, includes the skill of interpreting nutrition facts labels on packaged foods. The skill to read and use nutrition facts labels is associated with healthier eating patterns and improved food choices. This community service program aimed to enhance mothers’ knowledge of nutrition facts labels and to encourage the practical application of this knowledge by choosing healthier food products based on the nutrition labels provided. The activity was conducted at Puskesmas Ulu Gadut on October 17, 2025, involving 30 participating mothers, since mothers usually are the ones who are responsible for deciding the consumption of the household. s. The intervention includes preparation, implementation, and evaluation phases. Activities consisted of health education sessions, discussion, and distribution of leaflets and posters about how to read nutrition facts labels. At the evaluation phase, participants were asked to compare two similar food products and choose which one is healthier based on their nutrition contents showed on the nutrition labels. From all the products given, all participants could choose correctly and explain the reasons for their choice. The activity proved effective in increasing awareness of reading nutrition labels to make healthier food decisions. It is recommended that this program could be applied to other age groups and further developed media for a more sustainable impact.
