Iron and zinc supplements for adults with chronic diseases
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether two dietary supplements can improve iron and zinc levels in adults with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, hypertension, anemia, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to see if patients find them easy to take and if they help the body absorb these minerals better.
