-
Iron absorption from a hydrogel iron supplement with and without breakfast
This study tests how well three low-dose hydrogel iron supplements are absorbed in non-anemic, iron-depleted women, compared with regular ferrous fumarate, using labeled iron to measure absorption.
-
Improving ready-to-use therapeutic foods to help malnourished Kenyan children absorb iron
This project will test whether changing the iron in ready-to-use therapeutic foods helps severely malnourished Kenyan children absorb iron better and recover from anemia.
-
Iron absorption and requirements in people living at high altitude
This study will test whether healthy adults living at high altitude absorb and retain more dietary iron than adults at lower altitude by giving a small oral dose of a labeled iron and tracking blood changes.
-
Dietary iron needs for U.S. adults
This project will test how much iron healthy men and premenopausal women ages 18–50 need by giving a safe stable iron isotope and measuring blood levels over 12 weeks.
-
Examining zinc and iron absorption from common beans in young women
This study tests how different types of common beans affect the absorption of zinc and iron in healthy young women.
