Hello, Thanks for your query. Iron deficiency can be due to low intake of iron, or poor absorption of iron. I would advise you take green leafy vegetables, tomato, papaya in food. Also, I would advise you to take iron tablet with your doctors consult. And also take fruit juice. Do not take iron with milk as it prevents its absorption. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
