NCT01739907

Brief Summary

Iron deficiency and vitamin D deficiencies are common in menstruating women. The present assay studied the influence of the consumption of a flavoured skimmed milk with iron (iron pyrophosphate) or with iron and vitamin D3 in iron deficient women on:

  • Iron metabolism
  • Biomarkers of bone remodelling
  • Cardiovascular risk indexes
