Your doctor should have done some blood work in order to diagnose your iron deficiency. Taking too much iron can cause toxicity and iron overload which can have serious adverse effects on your health. It is best to determine the amount of iron supplementation you require by speaking with your healthcare provider, and being sure to have any ordered follow-up blood work preformed in order to insure safe iron levels.

∙ 13y agoDepending on the person's age and pregnancy status, between 6 and 30 milligrams per day. Preteen children, adult males and postmenopausal women require 10 milligrams each day. Infants and premenopausal or pregnant women require more. Many multivitamins contribute 18 milligrams per tablet; iron tablets generally contribute 27 milligrams.
