Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess whether daily oral iron supplements increase iron loss in iron-depleted Kenyan children aged 24-27 months.
- The findings revealed that, over 3 months, the average absorption of iron was 1.10 mg/day, while daily iron loss was 0.55 mg, accounting for half of the absorbed iron.
- The results suggest that daily iron supplementation raises iron loss, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the supplements in children, with a significant correlation between iron absorption and loss.
