    Impact of intravenous iron or exogenous erythropoietin on hemoglobin mass, exercise performance, and acute mountain sickness during altitude exposure

    Unknown authors

    Published in J Appl Physiol (1985)

    Key Findings

    Intravenous iron increased hemoglobin mass but did not meaningfully reduce acute mountain sickness scores at altitude.

    Conclusions

    Iron status supports erythropoiesis without preventing altitude illness.
