  Iron?

  Protein, iron, and B-complex vitamins. All extremely useful to replenish lost blood.

    You only lose ~80ml of blood. When you donate to the blood bank your giving ~500ml and I've never heard of anyone recommending liver, other than not having an empty stomach there's no special dietary changes necessary. Am I missing something?

      I can't speak directly to your given values, and am unfortunately in a poor position to research them. However, different women have different experiences. Some suffer from anemia and/or iron deficiency during their cycle. Perhaps this information will be useful?

      > You only lose ~80ml of blood. That's an average. Almost all the women I have known occasionally complain about a "heavy month" every now and then. That can be either excessive bleeding in terms of volume lost over a normal time or an excessive time length of bleeding. And, a 90lb female losing even 200ml of blood is going to feel effects far more than a 250lb male losing 500ml.

      My mother ate liver and onions once a month. It might not have been necessary, but it's still something she did.
