The amount of iron in a supplement varies widely depending on the type of supplement.
Generally, here's a breakdown:
- Multivitamins for Women: These typically contain around 18 mg of iron, which is 100% of the Daily Value (DV).
- Multivitamins for Men and Seniors: These often contain little to no iron.
- Iron-Only Supplements: These usually contain significantly more than the DV, often around 65 mg of iron, which is approximately 360% of the DV.
It's important to check the label of any supplement to determine the exact amount of iron it contains. Consulting with a healthcare professional is also recommended to determine the appropriate iron dosage for your individual needs.
