Question

i ned iron in my body my dermathologist( i think) told me for my hair growth problem.i want to know wut foods contain iron or is there anyway easier to get iron in my body. oh and also is iron suppose to make you fatter?

Answer 1

Just wanted to add to everyone else's answers when you take iron supplements or eat foods high in iron such as bran flakes and green veggies, or organs meats (liver) drink OJ with it or some type of Vit. C supplement. Vit. C helps with absorption of iron.
Oh by the way iron supplements wont make you fat but it will constipation you.

Answer 2

I don't know about iron making you fat. Foods with iron will say so in the nutritional contents on the side of the box. The easiest thing to do would be to look for a multivitamin with 100% of the daily value of iron needed by most people.

Answer 3

Drink Iron tonics along with Iron rich food like spinach..

Answer 4

Your dark green vegetables...broccoli, spinach...Also, liver. Vitamin C will help the body to absorb iron.
Also, cooking with a cast iron skillet will add iron to the food you cook in it.

Answer 5

Eat lots of Spinach, Brocolli and take Iron supplement pills.

Answer 6

Red meat is the most assimilated form of iron but if you do not eat it, then broccoli, green leafy veggies and use iron supplements.
