I take a liquid iron supplement called Floravital

It's made from plant sources and so it's much more bio-available than synthetic iron supplements. I eat lots of iron rich food, but still struggle to get enough iron without the Floravital.
Calcium rich foods: Dairy products, veggies such as broccoli, cabbage and Kale are all fab sources, as is tofu.0 -
Potatos (calcium) plus parsley (iron)0

Um.... VEGGIES! U might BE a veggie, but I didn't see many in your diary. Kale, salad greens, broccoli, string beans, etc. plus almond butter, tahini, hemp seeds...you can easily meet calcium and iron. I also like to supplement with vega all-in-one protein shakes.0
