Everything: Although, it is a popular belief that certain products, like red meat, applies, red wine and caviar may boost hemoglobin production and eventual improvement in anemia, none of this has been scientifically proven. The iron receptors in the human gut can only absorb so much of the iron contained in the above products. The kind of iron to ingest to make a real difference would be the prescription one.
