Iron

The amount of iron in the blood at that moment; it varies through the day.

If it's high

Can follow supplements or iron overload conditions.

If it's low

Suggests low iron, especially with low ferritin.

• Iron-rich foods: spinach and other greens, lentils, rajma, chana, soya, eggs, fish or lean meat
• Vitamin C with meals (amla, guava, orange, lemon) to help absorb iron
