NCT ID NCT07143890

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at how well iron-deficient women absorb iron from two plant-based sources (iron chlorophyllin and soy hemoglobin) compared to standard iron supplements and animal-based heme iron. 45 women with low iron stores but not anemic took part. The goal was to see if these plant sources could be a good way to boost iron levels.
