t depends. Adult women carry about 2 grams (g) of iron in their body, while adult men carry about 4 g.4 About 70% of this iron is found in red blood cells as heme in hemoglobin, 0.5 g to 1 g is stored, and the remainder is used in different parts of the cell. If we eat a well-balanced diet, our bodies do a very good job of absorbing and storing all the iron we need. Our bodies do not actively eliminate iron. However, people lose a small but steady amount of iron through their sweat and urine, and by shedding cells from the skin.5 Any time you lose blood (because of your period, due to an injury, etc.), you also lower your body’s iron levels. The total amount of iron loss for healthy people is about 1 milligram (mg) a day for men, and 1.5 mg to 2 mg a day for women with regular periods.4 Most of the iron in our bodies is stored and recycled by a system in the body that breaks down aged red blood cells.

As you get older, your body ends up storing more iron than it needs.6 In men, body iron stores rise sharply in the late teens, peak in their 30s, and stay level until age 70. After age 70, men’s iron levels gradually decline. In contrast, women’s levels remain low until about age 40, followed by a steep rise. The highest levels seen in women are still about one third lower than those in men.7

Answer 7

ask a doctor?

Whereas a healthy person's body may contain up to one gram of iron (enough to make a small nail), a person with haemochromatosis may acquire 3 or 4 grams, and in extreme cases even up to 20 grams of iron, which may be enough to set off metal detectors at airports!

Answer 8

Serum Iron: 50 - 160 micrograms/dL

Answer 9

.15% it depends on wheather you are male or female. Females retain 3 times more than men and in some cases store iron for a rainy day have you ever seen a light post?
