Why it matters

Key nutrients in Spinach

Iron
2.7mg / 100g

Replenishes iron lost during menstruation. Pair with vitamin C for best absorption.

Magnesium
79mg / 100g

Muscle relaxation and cramp reduction during the menstrual phase.

Vitamin K
483mcg / 100g

Bone health and blood clotting โ€” relevant for heavy period management.

Folate
194mcg / 100g

Cell regeneration and DNA synthesis.

Cycle nutrition

When Spinach is most valuable

One of the most important foods during your period. Iron and magnesium are both depleted by menstrual bleeding, and spinach provides both. Adding lemon juice (vitamin C) to spinach increases iron absorption by up to 300%.

Logging in Oli

How to track Spinach accurately

Raw spinach compresses dramatically when cooked โ€” 300g raw becomes about 100g cooked. Log raw weight for salads, cooked weight for stir-fries and soups. "Large handful of spinach" in text logging usually estimates correctly.
