Daily iron requirements vary based on age, gender, and health status. According to clinical guidelines, recommended daily allowances are:
- Adult men: 8mg
- Adult women (19-50): 18mg
- Pregnant women: 27mg
- Post-menopausal women: 8mg
For treating iron deficiency, doctors typically prescribe higher therapeutic doses of 100-200mg daily. However, never self-prescribe high-dose iron supplements as excess iron can be harmful. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized dosing recommendations based on your iron levels and specific needs.
