Most people with an iron deficiency need at approximately 150-200mg of iron on a daily basis. People who don't have an iron deficiency is much lower. For children the recommended daily dosage may range between 6-11mg per day. For adults, the recommended daily dosage can range between 8-20mg per day. It can always vary from person to person so you can consult your doctor about your iron levels and/or if it is safe to consume herbal supplements for your iron levels.
