Bella,

I updated the article; I hope it makes more sense. The only way to know for certain if you have thyroid problems is to have a doctor test your thyroid status.

Iron needs depend on age and sex, not weight. The DRI for iron for women ages 19-50 is 18mg. It goes down to 8mg after that assuming menopause has taken place and iron is no longer being lost in menstrual blood.

For an average size woman of 145 lbs what is dosage of iron you suggest. Thank you.

Some studies show that iron and zinc supplements interfere with each others absorption; some show no effect (1). No minerals are fully absorbed and taking supplements together won’t reduce absorption to zero. But if you believe you need to maximize absorption,then taking iron and zinc supplements separately would be most effective. Even taking supplements as little as 30 to 60 minutes apart seems to be enough to avoid interference with absorption (2). Iron supplements aren’t necessary unless you have iron deficiency or another condition requiring iron supplementation.
