    Hi  blackstrap molasses is somewhat sweet but it also has a bitter taste. And yes, it does contain nutrients like iron, potassium and calcium but to correct an iron deficiency, it’s usually not enough and the amounts really vary by product..

    Here’s a video on the best ways (foods, supplements, pans) to correct an iron deficiency if that’s your aim.

     thank you. I read last night in one of your response to a iron deficiency question  , it’s best to heal the stomach m before taking iron supplements. Should I wait? The reaction to any food is still intense. I have to resort to slippery elm, marshmallows root and DGL before and after food.

     correct – I typically encourage my clients to wait until after they’ve addressed gut infections to supplement with iron, since we want to prevent feeding the infection and causing the body to sequester iron instead. In the meantime, I usually encourage them to incorporate liver fractions (small diced raw liver pieces that are frozen and swallowed like supplements with their meals). I have them prepare 2-6 oz of frozen liver fractions and encourage them to finish the pieces by the end of the week.

     cooked liver is the most bio-available form of iron if you like the taste and feel you can digest it. Otherwise, my clients go for tiny pieces of raw/frozen liver pieces as described above.
