It is good to take plants rich in minerals such as iron, or in vitamin B12. There are no prophetic accounts mentioning sea plants, since the Prophet ﷺ never made a sea voyage, but in plant-based medicine we find algae, and in particular spirulina, which is very rich in iron.
What the science says: iron and anemia
What published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for illustration — the studies address material causes; healing belongs to Allah.
Iron and anemia
Iron bisglycinate effectively increases hemoglobin and ferritin with fewer digestive side effects than classic forms (Nutr Rev, 2023); in children, the optimal dose and duration have been clarified (PLoS One, 2025), and in pregnant women supplementation is studied according to iron status (Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand, 2023). Red meat, liver, lentils, dates, and spirulina, combined with vitamin C, are sources of it. Precaution: do not supplement with iron without testing your levels first — excess is harmful; space it apart from tea and coffee, which block its absorption.
