What is the maximum dose of iron i can take a day?

Depends: depends how much you need- overdose of iron is possible. I suggest an iron profile be done by your doctor. While its true that menstruating women should supplement with iron, it depends on how long is your period and heavy your flow. See your primary doctor for an evaluation instead of just guessing.
