Iron Intake - How Much Is Enough?

[shigajet 0]

Okay, I'll throw out a nutrition question for you. Of all the essential nutrients we need to have a balanced diet, how much iron is sufficient if one were to use supplement vitamins with a meal?

I have no idea, but I would like to know...I have to take pills each day that my doctor prescribed me because apparently I don't get enough iron in my diet. The problem is, I keep forgetting. I'd like to know how much I have to eat, and of what, so I don't have to take the pills.Actually, I should probably just check the packet, it might say something on there...
