How Does a Synbiotic Supplement Affect Iron Status During Iron Repletion in Iron Depleted Female Athletes?
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Synbiotic Supplement and Placebo for Iron-deficiency. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Iron deficiency (ID) affects \~30% of female athletes, and its consequences are highly relevant to athletic performance. Poor iron (Fe) uptake remains a major factor in the development of ID. While animal studies suggest that prebiotics may improve Fe uptake, this has not been well-studied in humans. The main objective of the proposed study is to determine the effects of synbiotic supplementation on the Fe status of ID female athletes during Fe repletion.
