Just something I learned as a teen
Iron like in Molasses seems to make the blood thicker and redder (my shins got kicked in soccer a lot, so I'd drink Molasses in Chocolate milk prior to games)

Vitamin K as in spinach/leafy green veggies causes blood to clot quicker, they give it for blood thinner overdoses
In 1990 I had shoulder surgery, two weeks prior to surgery I continually drank molasses in my chocolate milk ate greens.
Doctors had pints and pints of blood on hand, Experienced surgeon said I bled maybe 1 or 2 drops, surprised him He'd never seen anyone not need blood from his operations before.
Greens,like spinach etc also have iron.

Regular chocolate has about 4% Daily Iron
Ovaltine Chocolate 10%
Regular Molasses 2% Blackstrap Molasses 4%
One can overdose on iron though if you are using iron supplement pills instead of foods.

just thought I'd share.
