Hm. Ijzer
klinkt minder giftig dan zink. Misschien is het dat niet.
Goeie vraag!
Na enig zoeken vond ik deze site van de NIH, en voor zowel ijzer als zink worden dezelfde "Tolerable Upper Intake Levels" van 40 mg/dag (voor een volwassene) gegeven.... het gaat zo te zien wel over elementair metaal, dus de toxiciteit van de desbetreffende ionen kan hiervan afwijken, al verwacht ik niet dat het (gezien het onderstaande) veel zal uitmaken....
What is the health risk of too much zinc?
Zinc toxicity has been seen in both acute and chronic forms. Intakes of 150 to 450 mg of zinc per day have been associated with low copper status, altered iron function, reduced immune function, and reduced levels of high-density lipoproteins (the good cholesterol) (34). One case report cited severe nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes after the person ingested four grams of zinc gluconate (570 mg elemental zinc)

What is the risk of iron toxicity?
There is considerable potential for iron toxicity because very little iron is excreted from the body. Thus, iron can accumulate in body tissues and organs when normal storage sites are full. For example, people with hemachromatosis are at risk of developing iron toxicity because of their high iron stores.
In children, death has occurred from ingesting 200 mg of iron [7]. It is important to keep iron supplements tightly capped and away from children's reach. Any time excessive iron intake is suspected, immediately call your physician or Poison Control Center, or visit your local emergency room. Doses of iron prescribed for iron deficiency anemia in adults are associated with constipation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, especially when the supplements are taken on an empty stomach [1].
