Do you know if there are other ways to raise the bodys' iron levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Other than what?: You can raise body stores of iron by eating foods rich in iron as described in this site: http://www.webmd.com/diet/iron-rich-foods Taking oral iron supplement is the most common way to increase body iron. Iron can also be administered by injection either intramuscular or intravenous. Blood transfusion will also add to body iron stores.
