Iron Absorption From a Nutritional Iron Supplement
Conventional oral iron supplements often cause gastrointestinal side effects and are limited by poor bioavailability, leaving unabsorbed iron to reach the colon. Hydrocolloid-based hydrogel matrix formulations designed for gradual iron release present a promising approach to improve iron absorption. This study evaluates fractional iron absorption (FIA) from three low-dose hydrogel formulations containing ferrous fumarate compared with ferrous fumarate without a hydrogel matrix. Test products will be administered with water, with and without a standardized breakfast. All formulations will be intrinsically labelled with stable iron isotopes ( 57Fe or 54Fe), and FIA will be determined 14 days after administration based on erythrocyte iron incorporation. In this randomized, within-subject corssover study conducted in non-anemic, iron-depleted women, each participant will receive all test conditions and serve as her own control.
