Dear friend, i appreciate your interest to improve your iron levels ... if iron levels are very low you better go for iron injections .... which is the best ... iron is present in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food stuffs ... but iron present in non-vegetarian food stuff is better absorbed if you are a non vegetarian please take egg/fish/meat ... you can also go for iron tablets with vitamin C which will help in better absorption of iron ... one more thing is that you should know what is the cause for this iron deficiency the root cause should be removed.. like hook worm infestation / piles /bleeding gastic peptic ulcer ...please do contact us for more queries ... thank you
