Daily Iron Requirement. The RDA for iron is 10 mg/day for adult men and for post-menopausal women and 15 mg/day for pre-menopausal women. These amount of iron are considered good for health.
Women on oral contraceptives lose less blood during menstruation and therefore lose less iron. According to the National Institutes of Health, females aged 9 to 13 need 8 mg iron per day, ages 14 to 18 need 15 mg/day, ages 19 to 50 need 18 mg/day and females older than 51 years need 8 mg/day.
