What are the ideal iron levels for a 50yr old women

Hi Norma-Jean. You don’t mention whether she is pre or post menopausal. If she is post menopausal her iron would be 9mg per day. Iron needs decrease after menopause as the need to replace the iron lost each month is not necessary. If she is pre menopausal then it would be about 18mg.
Hope that helps!
