U.S., July 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07078630) titled 'Modulation of hepcidIN With Co-supplementation of Iron and FORMulated Curcumin in Recreational Athletes' on July 11.
Brief Summary: Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are common among endurance athletes (Keller et al., 2024) partly due to a repeated post-exercise elevation of hepcidin, a hormone limiting iron entry through the intestine (Larsuphrom and Latunded-Dada, 2021). Oral iron supplementation also causes stimulation of hepcidin (Ishibashi et al., 2017) that adds on to the exercise-intrinsic stimulation of this hormone further reducing iron absorption. Both oral ferrous iron therapy and performance running are known t...
