Iron supplementation can be achieved by consuming iron-rich foods such as animal liver, dried shrimp, and lean meat. Patients with iron deficiency may appropriately include these foods in their diet. Mild iron deficiency often improves with dietary adjustments over time. However, for severe iron deficiency, iron supplementation (e.g., oral iron supplements) is recommended in addition to dietary measures.
