Iron is a significant nutrient for women. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the Recommended Dietary Allowances for infants, adolescents, and nursing mothers is a minimum of 10 milligrams of iron per day, while pregnant women need at least 27 milligrams per day. Adding bison to your diet can help meet these recommended allowances, as bison contributes about 69% more iron to your diet than does the same serving of beef.
