As little as 10-20mg iron is needed daily to prevent anemia, especially when adequate amounts of vit B-12 ( 100 mcg) and folic acid (0.4mg) are also taken. It would also be necessary to have lab tests done to measure the ability of your blood to carry and utilize the iron in the blood (serum iron, TIBC, transferrin).
