But for women, with the large amount of blood lost during menstruation, more iron will be lost than usual.

The tannins in tea will combine with iron in food or medicine in the intestines to form a complex that cannot be absorbed. Thereby hindering the intestinal mucosa's absorption of iron, leading to the occurrence of iron deficiency anemia in women. Therefore, it is very inappropriate to drink tea during menstruation, and the stronger the tea, the lower the body's ability to absorb iron molecules. Therefore, try not to drink tea at this time, and eat some iron-rich foods in the diet to supplement iron.

The tannic acid contained in tea can slow down intestinal peristalsis, thus causing stool to remain in the intestines. Drinking tea during menstruation can easily aggravate menstrual syndrome such as dysmenorrhea, headache, back pain, breast pain, and mental tension.
