How much iron can you absorb at one time?

I was told to take more iron, my iron levels are low. I already take 18mg twice a day, and have now added a third of 25mg. I have been taking the 25mg tablet along with my morning pills, but was wondering if anyone knows how much iron you can absorb at one time, or if it matters? I know there are 325mg tabs you take at one time, but that is ferrous sulfate, and wasn't sure if this was different. Thanks ~ Sandy
