NCT03793959 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Iron deficiency (ID) affects \~30% of female athletes, and its consequences are highly relevant to athletic performance. Poor iron (Fe) uptake remains a major factor in the development of ID. While animal studies suggest that prebiotics may improve Fe uptake, this has not been well-studied in humans. The main objective of the proposed study is to determine the effects of synbiotic supplementation on the Fe status of ID female athletes during Fe repletion.
