Recommended Iron vs Age

Formel

## Iron Intake Recommendations Iron is essential for oxygen transport in the blood. Requirements vary by age and dietary pattern. ### RDA for Males | Age | RDA | |---|---| | 1-3 years | 7 mg | | 4-8 years | 10 mg | | 9-13 years | 8 mg | | 14-18 years | 11 mg | | 19+ years | 8 mg | Vegetarians need 1.8x more iron because plant-based (non-heme) iron is less readily absorbed.
