Iron supplementation in anemic Zanzibari toddlers is associated with greater loss in erythrocyte iron isotope enrichment

ConclusionsToddlers who received Fe supplementation exhibited significantly greater losses of RBC Fe isotope enrichment over time. We speculate this greater loss of RBC Fe enrichment is indicative of increased erythropoiesis due to the provision of Fe among anemic or helminth-infected toddlers.
