Abstract
Adults who received an average of 10 to 15 mg. iron per day in food were given a daily supplement of 65 mg. iron as ferrous sulfate or a placebo. When the two groups were compared, the iron supplement had no effect in the men, but caused an appreciable rise in the hemoglobin level of the women who had a low hemoglobin level initially (<11.7 gm. per 100 ml.).Keywords
