The easiest way to increase iron is to take liquid chlorophyll - World organics or Nature's Way from the Vitamin Shoppe or Health food store. Chlorophyll is green from the alfalfa plant and increases the hemoglobin.

Other food sources of iron [if you can get him to eat it]: meat, liver, spinach, kale.

I believe rice chex has 50% of the daily recommended allowance for iron. An easy way to add iron to your child's regular cereal product or just as a treat is to add 1/2 cup of raisins to it. Half a cup of raisins is about 3.3 mg of iron. 6 slices of peaches (fresh) have about the same amount of iron. One ounce of Pumpkin seeds as a snack is also about 3mg of iron. G.
