Iron needs
The amount of iron needed varies based on age, gender, and physiological status of individuals. Providing adequate amounts of iron is very important during certain periods, such as pregnancy and puberty. The daily iron requirement for pregnant women is 27 mg, for lactating women 9 mg, and during puberty and adulthood, it is 15 and 18 mg for women and 8 mg for men, respectively.
In people whose body iron stores are much lower than normal, dietary intake of this element is usually not effective in the short term, and the use of appropriate nutritional supplements with minimal digestive side effects is recommended.
