Evaluation of Natureheme-iron on Iron Absorption Effect and Anti-oxidation Functions

An 12 week double-blinded randomized parallel study with 4 week follow-up period was performed in mild anemia subjects. Consenting eligible subjects were receive 2 capsules per day containing either 1000 mg Fe of similar appearance for 12 weeks. The subjects were required to visit at baseline, every 6 weeks during the intervention period (6 weeks), and at follow-up 4 weeks after treatment had ended. During each study visit, fasting blood samples were collected and anthropometric measurements were performed. Compliance was evaluated using a food diary and monitored with biweekly telephone calls.
