That's the $$$ question!
PM- I take 3000mg per day, which I on the high end. A review of peoples programs here suggests genetic males take between 1500 and 3000mg
FG- somewhere between ~1200 and ~2400mg per day
For all the other herbs in my program, I'm starting at roughly 1/2 the dosage recommended by the manufacturer. Since I'm using licorice, pumpkin, rieshi and pygeum to inhibit DHT and promote aromatase (T to E conversion) I'm still getting a fairly high level of coverage IMO but this is my first real attempt to address DHT.
As far as iron is concerned, genetic males need far less than females. We "should" be getting enough from our diet (green leafy foods), and men don't deplete iron as rapidly. I would certainly avoid getting more than 50% of the USRDA via a supplement, unless recommended by a doctor.
Try these FAQs and Threads for more info (I based my current program on much of this info, with some fact checking of my own):
