Iron
Taking vitamin C will aid in the absorption of iron. You can either take a supplement or be sure eat food rich in vit c at each meal.
Other things that can impact proper nutrient absorption from food is if you take any medicine for heartburn/acid reflux. A gluten intolerance will effect it also. Gluten problems can be hard to detect since many test result come out with a "false negative".
The other is an imbalance of gut bacteria. If there's too much bad bacteria, it can interfere also. A good probiotic will help that.
