First seen Dec 18, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 35 times
Summary
This pilot study tested whether eating yogurt enriched with lactoferrin (a protein found in milk) twice a day for two months could improve iron levels in 50 women with gestational diabetes. Half received the special yogurt, half got regular yogurt. Researchers measured changes in blood ferritin and hemoglobin. The study is small and early, so results are not definitive.

lactoferrin-enriched yogurt
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple dietary supplement to help manage iron levels in women with gestational diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The change in iron levels may be modest or not clinically meaningful.
