    People always recommend red meat like beef steak, not realising that mussels, oysters and clams have over 3x the amount of iron in them per 100gr. Pumpkin seeds have 5x the amount of iron per 100gr compared to beef and nuts 2x. Another option is chicken livers: 3x as much iron compared to beef steak.

    And eat it with something high in vitamin C, such as bell peppers, dark green leafy vegetables, kiwis and strawberries, for better absorption.

    Talanch that's why I said what works for me....I eat all those foods but beef is the one that really works for me.

    Some things have good numbers but don't work as well for me for whatever reason no matter how much or what source of vitamin c and avoiding calcium at that meal.

    I've dealt with this for years for myself and one of my daughters.
