Posted March 15th, 2008 - 11:32 am by  from Sacramento, United States (Permalink)i think that mixing various soy, beans, seeds and tofu into your diet on a regular basis will help increase your iron intact. here's a website that has the breakdown of what iron, protein, calcium, and so on rich vegan options really have: http://www.soystache.com/iron.htm nicole (smile)!
Posted January 23rd, 2009 - 7:12 pm by  from Toronto, Canada (Permalink)I eat spinach daily when possible. lots of Quinoa as well... beans, lentils. Last time I had my blood checked my doctor said to keep doing whatever I was doing for my iron.
Posted January 25th, 2009 - 2:46 am by  from New York, United States (Permalink)I'm try to eat raw so I have spinach salads every day. I also take a womens multi-vitamin (without Calcium). Calcium and Iron taken at the same time make neither absorbed by the body, according to my doctor. If you need a calcium supplement, take it separately from your iron supplement, about 3-4 hours apart.
