QUICKEST AND EASIEST WAY IS TO GO GET SOME LIVER TABS, ARGENTINIAN BEEF LIVER IS CHOKE FULL OF HEME IRON, ITS VERY WELL ABSORBED AND THE ADDED B'S IN IT WILL HELP TO INCREASE ENDURANCE, AS FAR AS WANTING A NUMBER, THAT VARIES FOR EVERYONE, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN RDA FRO A BODYBUILDER ATHLETES NEED MORE OF CERTAIN THINGS, HOW MUCH MORE DEPENDS ON MAY DIFFERENT VARIABLES...


TWO BEST WHOLE FOODS FDOR IRON ARE BEEF LIVER, AND BLACK STRAP MOLLASSES...

Thanks TB yep bought those BLOOD BUILDERS and one by enzymatic therapy which is the heme iron feels like starting to come around.But fuck i think i was around 20 or 30 mg's a day with vit and food intake but app wasn't enough could be the increase in RBC from the EQ you think?

DUDE what the fuck is black strap mollases?

[Thinkbig]

U NEVER HEARD OF MOLLASSES...

ITS A THICK TARRY SYRUP, ITS USED TO SWEETEN THINGS, NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE, BUT ITS VERY HIGH IN IRON, AND IT IS ABSORBED VERY WELL, MANY NUTRITIONISTS HAVE HAVE THOSE LOW IN IRON TO INGEST 2 TABLESPOONS BSM EVERYDAY...

To treat iron deficiency, a common recommended amount is 100 mg per day - that amount is usually reduced after the deficiency is corrected.

Ferrous iron (e.g. ferrous sulfate) is much better absorbed than ferric iron (e.g. ferric citrate).

Bump for TB's suggestions with regard to natural foods.
