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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This trial compares two types of iron supplements (Sucrosomial Iron and Ferric Maltol) to see which works better and causes fewer side effects in women with low iron levels. It may help if you have mild to moderate anemia and are not taking other iron supplements.
This trial tests whether oral iron therapy can prevent anemia in women who have low iron stores but normal blood counts. It aims to find out if taking iron helps improve energy and overall health.
This study tests whether taking iron supplements can improve how well your muscles work, especially if your iron levels are low. It may help women who feel tired or weak due to low iron stores.
This study tests if taking iron supplements can help improve iron levels in female athletes who have low iron stores. It aims to see if this can boost performance and energy.
This study compares two types of iron supplements—regular iron pills versus a newer liposomal (specially packaged) iron formula—to see which works better for women whose heavy menstrual bleeding has caused low iron levels. You'll take one type for several weeks while doctors monitor your blood iron levels.
