Study Summary

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women of reproductive age with normal to slightly overweight BMI (18.5-29.9) and low iron stores who don't smoke or drink heavily. It's not for those on certain medications, with blood clotting issues, metabolic/cardiovascular abnormalities, recent blood donors, or those unwilling to stop vitamin/mineral supplements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if daily meals containing beef or a plant-based alternative affect iron status when taken with an iron supplement in women with low iron levels. The goal is to see which meal helps improve the body's absorption of non-heme iron from supplements.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, potential ones may include digestive discomfort due to dietary changes and possible reactions to the iron supplement such as constipation or stomach upset.
