anecdotally - my iron levels used to always sit at the lower end of the healthy levels and would absolutely tank whenever I was pregnant. Supplements barely helped even with a focus on iron rich food.
With my last pregnancy I said "fuck the doctors, they're help isn't doing shit" its probably some trace element I'm missing out on.
I started taking 2 tablespoons of Black Strap Molassess everyday. a few days in I felt so much better. I dropped it down to 1 or 2 teaspoons a day after about a month and have been taking that ever since. guess I wasn't far off.
Beef or Moose liver is way superior due to Cu and Fe content being in the most bioavailable form (compared to plant based molasses that has poor bioavailability).
Moose isn't an option where I am. And beef isn't a regular option unless I want to buy it from the shops (no thanks). Not much cattle farming where I am so can't really buy fresh from the farmer like we do with sheep

Glad you found a solution with molasses though .
