Intermittent iron supplementation for reducing anaemia and its associated impairments in adolescent and adult menstruating women
Fernandez-Gaxiola AC, et al.
Published in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
Key Findings
Intermittent iron supplementation may reduce anaemia and may improve iron stores among menstruating women in populations with different anaemia and malaria backgrounds. In comparison with daily supplementation, the provision of iron supplements intermittently is probably as effective in preventing or controlling anaemia.
Conclusions
Intermittent iron supplementation may reduce anaemia and may improve iron stores among menstruating women in populations with different anaemia and malaria backgrounds. In comparison with daily supplementation, the provision of iron supplements intermittently is probably as effective in preventing or controlling anaemia.
