I, too, don't eat much meat and I boost my iron levels by adding a sachet of a liquid iron supplement called Spatone, as well as Wagner's Ester C tablets to ensure the iron is absorbed. Most health food stores and some pharmacies sell a box of 28 sachets for approximately $30.00. This works for me without causing constipation or any other side affects. Good luck.
