Iron-Rich Diet

for Anaemia

Increasing dietary iron intake through haem iron (red meat, liver) and non-haem iron (legumes, dark leafy greens, fortified cereals).

How it works

Haem iron from animal sources is absorbed at 15-35% efficiency. Non-haem iron from plants is absorbed at 2-20% depending on dietary factors.

What to watch for

Haem iron from meat is more bioavailable. Eat non-haem iron sources with vitamin C to enhance absorption. Avoid tea and coffee with iron-rich meals.
