Energy deficit increases hepcidin and exacerbates declines in dietary iron ab…
Strenuous physical activity promotes inflammation and depletes muscle glycogen, which may increase the iron regulatory hormone hepcidin. Hepcidin reduces dietary iron absorption and may contribute to declines in iron status frequently observed following strenuous physical activity

ORAL SUPPLEMENTATION WITH FERROUS SULFATE BUT NOT WITH NONIONIC IRON POLYMALT…
Iron deficiency anemia is customarily treated by iron supplementation. However, iron can act as a catalyst of lipid peroxidation in vitro, and high intake of heme iron has been associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction in some, but not in all epidemiologic studies. We carried out a 6-month trial of the effects of supplementation of men (n=48) with low iron stores with ferrous …

Effectiveness and strategies of iron supplementation during pregnancy
Iron deficiency continues to be one of the most prevalent single-nutrient deficiencies in the world. Interventions are often designed to prevent the decrease in hemoglobin concentration and the decline in iron stores associated with pregnancy. Although this is believed to be desirable for both the health of the mother and the well-being of the growing fetus, some scientists disagree.

Review of Studies on the Effect of Iron Deficiency on Cognitive Development i…
Studies on the effect of iron deficiency on children’s cognition and behavior are selectively reviewed, looking for evidence of a causal relationship. Most correlational studies have found associations between irondeficiency anemia and poor cognitive and motor development and behavioral problems. Longitudinal studies consistently indicate that children anemic in infancy continue to have poore…
