Iron for women aged 19 to 50

Sixteen milligrams a day — the highest adult figure in the EFSA table, and 45 per cent more than an adult man needs. Menstrual loss is the whole reason, and it is also why the number drops back the moment periods stop.

EFSA märkus sellel real:enne menopausi, menstruatsioonikao jaoks

Need on avaldatud rahvastiku võrdlusväärtused, mitte diagnoos ega retsept. Võrdlustarbimine kirjeldab, mis katab terve rühma; see ei saa öelda teie enda staatust ja ükski leht ei saa. Rasedus, krooniline haigus, ravimid ja malabsorptsioon muudavad pilti — viige need küsimused arsti, ämmaemanda, apteekri või dietoloogi juurde.

Why this group has the highest requirement of anyone

Iron is recycled so efficiently that basal daily losses are small. What makes the premenopausal female figure the highest adult value in the table is menstruation, and specifically the shape of its distribution. Most women lose a moderate amount of iron each month; a minority lose several times more. A Population Reference Intake has to cover almost everyone, so it is pulled upward by that tail.

The practical consequence: 16 mg is not what the average woman in this group needs. It is the amount that covers about 95 per cent of them. If your periods are light, your own requirement is lower; if they are heavy, 16 mg may not be enough, and heavy menstrual bleeding is itself a reason to see a doctor rather than to buy a bigger supplement.

Sixteen milligrams is genuinely hard from food alone

This is the main honest finding of this page. Look at the table below and count the portions: reaching 16 mg a day from ordinary food takes deliberate effort, and it takes more effort on a diet without red meat, because plant iron is absorbed far less efficiently.

The techniques that work are about absorption rather than quantity. Put a vitamin C source in the same meal as the beans, lentils, wholegrain rye or pumpkin seeds — a pepper, a tomato, a citrus fruit. Move tea and coffee away from the meal itself, because their polyphenols bind iron in the gut. Keep a large calcium dose, such as a supplement or a big glass of milk, out of the iron-heavy meal.

Tiredness is not a diagnosis

Iron deficiency does cause fatigue, and it is common in this group. So do sleep debt, thyroid disease, depression, coeliac disease, pregnancy and a dozen other things, and iron supplements taken on a hunch can delay finding the real cause. Iron overload is also a real condition, and iron tablets are one of the commonest causes of serious accidental poisoning in small children.

The right order is: symptoms, then a blood test for ferritin and haemoglobin, then a decision. A clinician can do that in one visit. This page can tell you what the reference intake is; it cannot tell you your iron status.

Kuidas see võrdub iga teise rühmaga

Tavaline toit versusthe 16 mgarvnaised 19–50

Selle nimekirja tipus:Soybeans, 7.71 mg in a 150g portsjon (portsjon, keedetud) — 48% of the 16 mgarvnaised 19–50. Kuluks umbes3neist, et katta täispäev sellest ühest toidust, seetõttu jaotab päris dieet selle mitme rea peale.

Portsjonisuurused on tavalised kodused portsjonid, mis on selle tabeli jaoks valitud, mitte ametlikud võrdlusportsjonid, ja lühinimekiri on toimetuslik: igapäevased toidud selles piirkonnas, mitte kõrgeimad 100 g kohta andmebaasis.Toores järjestus 100 g kohta oleks tipus kuivatatud ürtide, joogipulbrite ja rikastatud hommikuhelveste all, mis vastab teisele küsimusele.Koostiseandmed on Ameerika, seega kus USA rikastamistava erineb Euroopa tavast, kannab rida pistoda ja põhjust.Toitaine täieliku järjestuse 100 g kohta avaldab selle saidi toiduandmete jaotis.
