18 mg/day food+pill: Anemic folk need food+supplement. To work, you should take it 1hr before or 2hrs after any food/drink. Best food sources are "heme" (from animal) - but non-heme (plant) can also be good. List: shellfish, liver, pumpkin seeds, nuts, lean red meat, beans & lentils, whole grains, dark leafy vegetables, dark chocolate, tofu.
