Good sources are meat, pulses, millet, oats and wholegrains. The body absorbs iron less well from plant foods; vitamin C from the same meal improves absorption.

As a food supplement, iron comes for example as bisglycinate, gluconate or from plants such as the curry leaf, in capsules, tablets and tonics.

  • Recommended per day: 11 mg for men, 14 to 16 mg for women before the menopause (D-A-CH)
  • Good sources: meat, pulses, millet, oats, wholegrains
  • Forms: capsules, tablets, tonics
