Eat regular red meat and green leafy vegies such as spinach, cabbage etc and drink orange juice afterwards to as Vit C helps absorbs the iron . If you are concerned , you can always have a blood test with your doctor to see if he is iron deficient before you take any supplements .
Other than supplements, green leafy veg and lean red meat is the best legumes are also rich in iron. Unfortunately kids don’t always prefer those things…good luck!
Have iron foods or supplements with vitamin c as it helps the body absorb it….avoid calcium around rhe intake of iron because it counteracts absorbtion……foods such as spinach, greeny leafy veg, mushrooms, lean red meat, beans, are all great sources
I currently take Fefol (folic acid and iron) daily as it’s the only one I can take that doesn’t make me constipated! I take it with orange juice and try to make sure I have vitamin c with read meat – eg: tomato based sauces with beef mince, steak with leafy green veggies high in vitamin c etc. I also try to eat iron rich cereals and anything I can with added iron.
