Question: My iron won't go up even though I'm supplementing
The top things that I would think of would be riboflavin and copper, plus inhibitors of iron absorption. So generally speaking, plant foods are strong iron absorption inhibitors. Generally, you're going to have organic acids that promote iron absorption in proportion to the amount of potassium in the vegetables that you eat, although it's also the case that polyphenols will tend to correlate. And polyphenols inhibit iron absorption, so I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't eat plant foods at the meal that you're trying to get your iron in if you have trouble getting your iron up.
I would take the iron supplement with a carnivore meal. If you want to eat plant foods, eat them at some other point in the day.

I was sick, could not figure it out till I diagnosed my nails and it told me low iron. I took iron and the first pill made my whole body sweat even my palms... it went away and I felt my brain start to function and I had not felt that in a long time... the next days I had none of the symptoms and was feeling great.. I ended up stopping taking iron after the 4th day due to feeling funny like I had too much iron. After I stopped it I was able to keep myself feeling good eating nutritional foods. I had to take pills nature bounty iron 28mg. It cured being dizzy, cured my number 2 bathroom problems. Low iron made me so sick I had no clue what feeling normal was like.. you don't wanna over dose iron pills, over dosing vitamins can be fatal
