    my midwife told me to drink fresh orange juice with my meals as it helps your body absorb iron better??
    try eat more
    •dark-green leafy vegetables, such as watercress and curly kale
    •beans
    •nuts
    •meat
    •apricots
    •prunes
    •raisins

    well done on the loss xx

    Liver is another great source -- but most people don't like it :) I love it.

    My iron has always been lown and if yo'ure female and pre-menopausal you may not get enough from just food.
    I actually take a chewable iron + vitamin 60 every day. Vitamin C will help you absorb the iron ---- don't take it with your multi or calcium. I make sure that my multi-s don't have both iron and calcium in them.
