Your pharmacist can provide treatment or some prescription medicine, if needed, for seven common conditions - without you seeing a GP.

Think pharmacy first and get seen by your local community pharmacy team.

IRON and DIET
If iron deficient (Ferritin < 30) then you are 1000mg of iron behind
Diet alone will not suffice as normal absorption of iron is LOW.

One 325-mg ferrous sulfate tablet ≈ 13 mg absorbed iron
=🥩 3.3 lb steak = 🥬 18 lb spinach

Here 1Kg of spinach and there is more iron in Prof's left hand :-( !
( like or not those are the facts)
(Steak assumes ~25% heme absorption; spinach ~5% non-heme)

You cannot eat your way out of and do need treatment dose Oral iron tablets 200-300mg once a day (works out to about 200-240mg absorbed per month so you need 4-6 months treatment)

Food is important, but for iron deficiency, tablets are doing a very different job
