  spinach is an excellent source of non-heme iron, and rich in vitamin c which helps increase iron absorption in the body. the iron content in spinach helps produce hemoglobin which is the main component in red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. regular consumption of spinach can help prevent anemia due to iron deficiency.

  katuk leaves are known to help increase iron levels, especially in this breastfeeding. In addition to iron, katuk leaves contain protein, vitamin A, and vitamin C, which work synergistically to increase red blood cell production. These leaves also help the body absorb iron more efficiently, making them very good to consume as part of herbal therapy.

• the third is moringa leaves (moringa oleifera)
