U.S., Nov. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07921433) titled 'Iron Absorption From a Nutritional Iron Supplement' on Nov. 02.
Brief Summary: Conventional oral iron supplements often cause gastrointestinal side effects and are limited by poor bioavailability, leaving unabsorbed iron to reach the colon. Hydrocolloid-based hydrogel matrix formulations designed for gradual iron release present a promising approach to improve iron absorption. This study evaluates fractional iron absorption (FIA) from three low-dose hydrogel formulations containing ferrous fumarate compared with ferrous fumarate without a hydrogel matrix. Test products will be administered with water, with and without a standardized ...
