With many people going on a plant-based/vegan or vegetarian diet, it is important to consider possible deficiencies, and iron is a common one, especially for menstruating women. Not everyone has a tendency to low iron, but some do, and plant-iron can be harder to absorb than iron from meat.

It helps to know what sort of plants are higher in iron, such as in the picture.

If you are a vegan, or mostly vegan, there are some nutrients you should keep an eye on.
