DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Iron trained

"1. Ferrous sulfate: 100 mg/day of FeSO4 dosed in 2 capsules taken individually by mouth with breakfast and dinner. Capsules were made with FeSO4 and dextrose. Analysis has shown that each capsule contains 11mg of elemental iron, which is expected to be absorbed at roughly 33% bioavailability.~2. Aerobic Training: 25 minutes/day, 5 days/week for 8 weeks working at an intensity between 75-85% of age-predicted maximum heart rate."
