Two months ago I tried to donate blood

and was told that my Iron was to low. Since then I have been religoius about taking my multi vitamin with iron plus and extra iron pill (ferrous sulfate). Today I was again told that my iron was too low to donate blood. I am taking about 83 mg a day. Does anyone know how much Iron we should be taking a day or am I taking the wrong kind of iron? thanks 276/160
