Answer 2

15 mg/day

Step-by-step explanation:

Iron is important for health because, in addition to preventing anemia, it also acts as a fuel for hemoglobin, the blood cell, to carry oxygen throughout the body. There are recommendations on the amount of iron that should be ingested by men and women during all stages of their life. For adolescent girls and women the recommendation is 15 mg/day mainly after menstruation or in pregnancy when blood loss of iron may occur.
