Is 27mg too much iron per day?

For most adults, the daily recommended intake of iron is about 8 mg for men and 18 mg for women of childbearing age. A daily intake of 27 mg is generally considered excessive for both men and women unless prescribed by a healthcare provider, particularly for individuals with certain medical conditions or dietary needs. Consuming too much iron can lead to health issues, including iron overload and related complications. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional before making changes to iron intake.
