how much iron should a woman consume daily

Or google it

A woman over 18 should consume 18 mg per day until she stops menstruating. Then the woman's recommendation goes down to the same as men at 8 mg per day.

ETA: During pregnancy it actually goes up to 27 mg per day. The teenage years until menstruation it should be 15 mg per day.

And guys, just in case any of them wonder: Teenage males should have 11 mg per day and once they are older (and theoretically quit growing as much), it goes down to 8 mg per day.

Bleeding or growing increases iron need.
