Measuring Iron Bioavailability From Oral Iron Supplements in Healthy Pre-menopausal Women Using Stable Isotopes

Sponsor: King's College London

Summary

In this study the investigators will compare iron absorption from 3 doses of iron (5, 10, 15 mg, given as either Spatone™ or ferrous sulphate). Our primary objective is to determine iron absorption from each preparation by measuring stable isotope (57Fe) incorporation into haemoglobin.
