Iron Requirements
Calculator

How much Iron do you need daily? Use our Daily Iron Requirement calculator to find out.

Iron is one of the most essential minerals for your body, playing a crucial role in the production of hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen through your bloodstream. It’s also involved in maintaining energy levels, supporting brain development in children, and keeping your immune system strong. Without enough iron, you may experience chronic fatigue, dizziness, pale skin, weakened immunity, poor concentration, or even develop iron deficiency anemia.
To maintain optimal health, it’s important to understand how much iron your body needs each day—and that amount depends on your age, gender, and physiological status, such as pregnancy or breastfeeding.
