Iron Absorption and Variations of Iron Status, Hepcidin, Inflammation and Sex Hormones During the Menstrual Cycle (MBL_Abs)

NCT05580783 NA COMPLETED

Iron supplementation is the first line of treatment of iron deficiency in most women, but we do not know when the best time is to supplement in the context of the menstrual cycle. With this study, we aim to measure and compare iron status, hepcidin, inflammatory markers, hormones estrogen and progesterone and changes in iron absorption at various points throughout the menstrual cycle, with a long-term view to determine best time for iron supplementation in relation to the menstrual cycle.
