What should i eat 7 days before donating blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing special: If you are a regular blood donor, giving at the maximum rate per year, you likely will be some type of iron supplement, especially if you are female. A multi-vitamin with iron is sufficient. Otherwise, nothing special is required.
