A good brand supp.?

[VveTTe917]

My grandmother called me and told me she is going through anemia. The doc told her she needs to consume a shake which needs to include protein, folic acid, & Vit B12. I think she needs to up her iron as well
My question is what would be a good brand and dose for her to take with these ingredients? She is 83 and is going through some rough times and the doc discovered she has a low red blood cell count.

I'd say she should go with a soy protein mix and take a b-complex vitamin.

Carnation also makes the Ensure type drinks for a little less $.

Lean cuts of raw red meat, like buffalo, venison are excellent ! but thats kinda spendy and probally not the thing for a geriatric diet. All the whey and a B-12 inject works for me. weight gainers turn me into a flatulating sow.
