Iron in therapeutic foods for malnourished kids in Kenya
This study tests whether adding extra iron to ready-to-use therapeutic foods helps malnourished children recover faster. It compares outcomes in children with severe or moderate malnutrition and healthy children.
Msambweni, Kwale CountyAges 1 year–4.5 years - NCT05973552Recruiting
Study iron absorption in early pregnancy and breastfeeding
This study looks at how your body absorbs iron during early pregnancy and after birth. The results may help researchers understand iron needs and how iron levels change, which could support healthier pregnancy and breastfeeding outcomes.
MsambweniAges 18–45 - NCT06327529Recruiting
Zinc and iron absorption from beans in young women
This study looks at how well your body absorbs iron and zinc from common beans. It may help find better ways to prevent iron deficiency.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 19–24 - NCT07142590Recruiting
Iron needs in people living at high altitude
This study measures how much iron your body absorbs and loses if you live at high altitude. It helps researchers understand iron requirements for people in this environment, using a new testing technique.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT06146608Recruiting
Iron, gut bacteria, and how the body absorbs iron
This study looks at how different types of iron in food affect your gut bacteria and how well your body absorbs iron. It aims to understand the connection between diet, gut health, and iron levels in healthy adults.
Ithaca, New YorkAges 18–40 - NCT07139821Recruiting
Study on dietary iron needs in adults
This study examines how much iron your body needs by tracking a special iron tracer over one year. It may help researchers set better dietary iron guidelines for healthy adults.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–50 - NCT06822062Recruiting
Do chitin and vitamin C help iron absorption from insects?
This study tests whether taking chitin (found in insect shells) and vitamin C together improves how well your body absorbs iron from a meal containing insect powder. It may help women with low iron stores find new ways to boost iron levels naturally.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT07605676RecruitingPhase 4
Acupuncture stimulation versus strength training for anemia from heavy periods
This study tests whether acupuncture-based electrical stimulation or resistance (strength) training can help women with moderate iron-deficiency anemia caused by heavy menstrual bleeding. Both treatments aim to improve energy levels and blood counts alongside standard medical care.
CairoAges 20–30 - NCT07081152Recruiting
Iron absorption and losses in young South African women
This study looks at how well young South African women absorb iron and how much iron they lose, comparing women with healthy weight to women with overweight or obesity. It aims to learn if body weight affects iron balance.
Potchefstroom, North WestAges 18–35 - NCT07435766Recruiting
Iron absorption from supplements in Kenyan pregnancy
This study looks at how well pregnant women in Kenya absorb iron from two types of supplements during the second trimester. It aims to find which supplement works best for you and your baby.
Kwale, Kwale CountyAges 18–35 - NCT07394972Recruiting
Iron absorption from lactoferrin in women with low iron
This trial tests whether a stabilized form of lactoferrin (a protein naturally found in milk) can help women with low iron stores absorb iron better. You may qualify if you have low iron but are not anemic, have a normal weight, and follow a few other health guidelines.
ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT07542873Recruiting
How Low Oxygen Affects Iron Absorption in People with Obesity
This study tests whether sleeping in a special tent that lowers oxygen levels for 8 weeks affects how your body absorbs iron. Researchers want to understand if low-oxygen conditions change iron levels in people with obesity.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for iron absorption?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting iron absorption studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a iron absorption trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a iron absorption trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
