When you move from a meat-heavy diet to a plant-based one, there will obviously be a shift in the kinds of foods you are eating. And since meats and other animal-based protein products are a source of iron, it’s natural to be worried about how you’ll get the iron you need, if you take these foods out of your diet. So, will you seriously lack iron and get anemic once you start eating plant-based? And to prevent that happening, do you need to rely on iron supplements?

Let’s discuss that today. In this episode, we’ll look at whether eating plant-based would be adequate to maintain good iron levels, or if iron supplements should be a critical part of a plant-based diet, and if you need to start taking them right away. Ready to dive into this with me? Let’s go!

Note: Before taking any iron supplements, it is recommended to have your iron levels tested first, to check what your iron levels are, and to rule out a condition called hemochromatosis. In hemochromatosis, the body has an issue with iron overload, and absorbs too much iron from food.
