hi
thanks for choosing healthcare magic
Even after taking red meat which is high source of iron if your iron level is less that mean ur body is not absorbing iron in proper way. That may be if u r taking coffee wine, or tea with food or red meat. Better to avoid them with food. For sometime u can take iron tablets to maintain iron level
thanks
