Root cause of Low iron level may vary. Though you can add natural iron sources like green goddess juice/ reisin water/ green leafy vegetables etc. Better is to figure out the reason first and change the diet accordingly.
You can get the constitution (vata/pitta/kapha) check and go accordingly. That dietary change will be as per the bodily requirement.
