Determination of Iron Absorption Mechanism From Ferrous Fumarate With GOS

NCT03996421 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

Last updated 2019-12-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim is to investigate the mechanism by which galacto-oligosaccharide acutely increases iron absorption by using stable isotope appearance curves. This will allow the evaluation of changes in serum iron isotopes over the first few hours after administration of the iron supplement and provides information where and in what amount iron absorption takes place in the GI-tract.
