Pregnancy iron study: does daily dosing reduce absorption?

NCT ID NCT07435766

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This study looks at how well pregnant women in Kenya absorb iron from three different types of prenatal supplements. Fifty women in their second trimester will take each supplement and have their iron absorption measured using special iron isotopes. The goal is to find out if taking iron every day reduces how much the body can absorb, and whether taking it every other day might work better.
