Active HelperBlackstrap Molasses. This has more iron than any other food, and the molecule that the iron is in is the easiest kind for your body to digest and use. You can eat a teaspoon or tablespoon of this every day, which is 5ml or 15ml.
The taste is strong and you might not like it. It tastes better if you mix it with milk, kind of like a chocolate milk shake.
Also consuming vitamin C will help the iron be digested better.

You said you supplemented iron, but the blood iron levels stayed the same. If this is 100% accurate, this raises questions about overall iron absorption. I would see a professional about potential iron absorption issues because even supplemented iron should help with this issue.
