Because of this health risk with high iron intake, the Institute of Medicine has set a Tolerable Upper Intake Level, or UL, for iron. This is the highest amount of iron that can be taken daily with a low risk for developing overload. For males and females over 14 years old, the UL for iron is 45 milligrams per day.
However, men 19 years of age and older need only 8 mg of iron each day, a modest amount compared to pregnant women, who require 27 mg of daily iron.The Office of Dietary Supplements advises getting your daily iron from the food you eat rather than supplements.ompared to adult women, men generally require less iron during the course of their lifetimes. Male and female infants between the ages of seven months to one year of age need 11 mg of iron each day, states the University of Maryland Medical Center, or UMMC.
