What is the highest dose of iron supplements you can take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Orally it is much as a person can tolerate, usually the pill size is 65 mg. Intravenously a much larger dose can be given at one sitting. You may consult this site for info: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iron-HealthProfessional/ If you need supplemental iron you may also try iron rich foods: http://www.webmd.com/diet/iron-rich-foods#1
