The explanation â the true one (if ever found) â does matter. It may matter to future whales, potentially, especially if we learn that 52 Hertz (âAliceâ, as in Cooper) got the way s/he did because of us, because of something we humans were/are doing.
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.
For men that are 19-50 years old, 8 milligrams per day is the requirement. For women that are 19-50 years old, the requirement is 18 milligrams per day due to the loss of blood, as well as iron, through monthly menses.or instance, a male between the ages of 19-30 years old would need 8 mg/day. A female between the ages of 19-30 years old would need 18 mg/day. While these are great guidelines, some individuals require additional iron due to an increased risk of iron deficiency.
