In this vidoe I show you the exact mechanism by witch iron is made more bioavailable
Iron is an essential mineral and your body needs iron for metabolism, enzyme function, hormone health and total body health

Look at your blood results - look at MCH, MCV & Ferritin! Anemia and low iron can be caused directly by low iron ORRR other types of anemia can be caused by issues with red blood cells - red blood cells need specific B vitamins and minerals to mature and grow to proper size Anemia can be low iron or low B vitamins or low minerals or all of them So figure out if the problem is low iron (low ferritin) or a B vitamin & mineral deficiency (low MCV and low MCH)
