Yes, iron is excreted in bile, but in small amounts. The primary way the body regulates iron levels is through absorption in the intestines rather than excretion. Most iron is recycled from old red blood cells and stored in the liver, while excess iron is primarily excreted through urine, sweat, and feces rather than bile.
