(HealthCastle.com) For iron deficiency anemia in women, a diet with iron rich foods along with iron supplements is often recommended. Absorption of iron from food is influenced by multiple factors. One important factor being the form of the iron. Heme Iron, found in animal sources, is highly available for absorption. Non-heme iron on the other hand, found in vegetable sources, is less available. Iron rich foods of an iron rich diet are listed below:

hmm I LOVE freshly steamed asparagus..never tried the canned stuff...i do HAVE a can though, might try it.

I have heard wonderful things about proferrin but I really doubt my insurance will pay for it..i may just ask how much the shots cost and bite down on other things to pay for the shots. Gotta do what I gotta do and my surgeon and I both knew I'd have bad issues with iron
