Overview

Compares two iron supplement regimens in blood donors, revealing differences in iron recovery rates.

Key Points

  • The central aim is to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of iron supplements in correcting iron deficiency in blood donors.
  • 41 blood donors with identified iron deficiency were studied.
  • Participants received either 50 mg of ferrous iron daily for 30 days or every other day for 60 days.
  • Serum ferritin levels were measured before and after the iron intake.
  • The every other day regimen showed a 32.5% increase in serum ferritin levels compared to 12.4% in the daily group.
  • 89.5% of donors on the every other day regimen recovered iron stores versus 59.1% in the daily group.
  • No statistically significant differences were found between the groups, though the method's capacity was limited.
