A member asked:
Hi i'm just wondering if there is a more natural way instead of taking liquid or iron pills for severe anemia due to low iron? thx a lot!

Dark greens: Worked for popeye. Spinach and other dark greens are good natural sources of iron. Red meat obviously, but harder to eat in quantity. Nothing unreasonable about using supplements & vitamins when you are coming from behind.
