It will greatly help absorb non-heme iron.

it can be taken away from red meat and other iron containing foods and be fine I think.

It does increase absorption of iron by many times but if separated timewise, should be okay.

Non-heme iron absorption is variable and low to begin with; heme iron will be unaffected, and it's high anyway.
