MegaFood Blood Builder https://g.co/kgs/gQcAeB. I take one a week as I am not anemic but for the iron. It is easy on the stomach too.

FWIW, I know a bit about iron supplementation as I have 3 kids who were/are elite runners. A typical red blood cell lasts 120 days in body circulation, but a pro-level runner who is clocking easily 70-80+ miles a week, thus circulating that same RBC a lot more times in a day, may see it last as little as 30 days. So iron supplementaton is a necessity.

You just need to take chelated iron (easy on the stomach) + Vit C in the mornings, separate from other multi-vitamins as there would be conflict in terms of absorbtion with all the other essential metals (zinc, calcium, magnesium etc) . There's also some kind of enzyme which builds up through the course of the day that inhibits iron absorbtion, hence the morning requirement.

I am a distance runner (not elite but I run 40-50 miles per week) and even for non elites, it’s definitely an issue for many runners, especially females. I have to take iron supplements too, whereas I never did when I was younger and not a runner.

The Blood Builder supplements actually include vitamin C so that is helpful.

I use this product too. Female distance runners tend to have issues with low iron levels and my functional medicine NP did tests and we discovered I had low levels. She recommended Blood Builder and I’ve found it easy to take and effective.

Is there any way they can get it from iron rich foods?

Yes. But as this excessive bleeding and anemia caused by the vaxx I feel demands a more substantial consistent support for what their body is going through. I am not a doctor. I avoid them.

This is my opinion based on how I approach health. Nutritional support through good fresh quality foods, sunshine and exercise, and supplements.

Completely agree Annie. Seems as if my adult daughter (who took all jabs) is having menstrual issues. Along with iron issues as well. My kids all raised on natural remedies, good home cooked non-processed foods....lived out in the countryside. Was always my plan to lay down a good foundation.

Once away in big cities like LA all that foundation seemed lost. Now both have many issues flaring up. But I am getting calls here and there for ideas and other ways to help them along. They seem to be dismayed with the "Standard of Care"

Keep being there. Both my adult children, 24 and 25 1/2, are moving out this May. I have supplements and powders and natural homeopathic remedies for them to take to their new home. I tell them that if they know this vaxx is BS, then everything told to us by the msm medical community has to be examined. They see how the homeopathic medicine works.

Thanks Annie

When my girls were little they saw a pediatrician who mostly prescribed homeopathic remedies.

And yes

Always there for them
