[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2405300, member: 196898"] The Livlife bread is fortified and has some wheat in it, but may still be low in iron and B6 compared to 'supermarket bread'. The chicken/ham will cover the B6 and B12, but the beef is the strongest source for these. Should be ok but may need supplementing on occasions over the long term. Not sure about your folate (B9) intake, Not listed in Livlife data, so maybe check the linked article to check what else you eat that may assist this vital ingredient if your ferritin or RBC is low [URL]https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/folic-acid/[/URL] Another problem of using low carb (soya or seaweed) bread sources is a calcium deficiency and osteoporosis. Livlife is fortified, but again, it may become a long-term problem especially as you get older, See also vitamin D (following) which is needed to use the calcium. You have already identified Vit C as being possibly needing supplementation, and unless you are eating fresh fruit or veg not listed in your previous post, then it may be worth doing. Also, vitamin D may be low, so try to sunbathe this summer? Food sources of D are red meat, eggs, oily fish, and livers, and again this is not listed in LivLife fortified data so check it out.
