Iron deficiency

2017-06-04 09:31:33
I've been diagnosed with iron deficiency in blood & been recommended iron supplements & iron rich food. I was told chicken liver is a good source or iron; but am worried that the dosage might be too high if I consumed it in the form of food as well as supplements. I'd like to know the ideal amount of iron intake via food per day & also in general
