Iron supplement study for women with low iron stores
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests how quickly a single oral iron dose increases ferritin levels in women who have low iron stores but are not anemic. It aims to find a quick way to assess iron absorption.
