Iron study: Every-Other-Day dosing may boost absorption
NCT ID NCT06238895
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking oral iron every second day at double the standard dose helps people with iron deficiency absorb more iron and raise their hemoglobin faster than taking it daily. 29 adults with low iron but not severe anemia participated for 12 weeks. Researchers compared changes in hemoglobin and iron levels between the two dosing schedules.
