Trained athletes frequently experience low levels of blood haemoglobin (13 to 14 g/100ml in men and 12 g/100ml in women) plus low haematocrit and low ferritin levels. These parameters define the concept of 'sports anaemia'. Low iron levels may be due to mechanical haemolysis, intestinal bleeding, haematuria, sweating, low iron intake or poor intestinal absorption. The resulting decrease in bloo...

In individuals with similar body stores of iron, the amount of iron absorbed from a single oral dose is not proportional to the amount of iron administered. Although a greater amount of iron is absorbed as the size of the oral dose increases, the percentage or fraction of the dose that is absorbed actually decreases (1-3). In addition, the amount of iron absorbed from a given dose is dependent ...
