OBJECTIVE: To study the utilization of reduced iron powder in child-bearing-age women with traditional Chinese food. METHODS: 20 health child-bearing-age women were randomly divided into two groups. With ferrous sulfate as control, the utilization of reduced iron was measured using dual stable isotopes. RESULTS: The fractional utilization of iron in ferrous sulfate was 5.8%, while in reduced iron powder was 2.1%. The rates of absorbed iron incorporated into hemoglobin were 70.1% and 91.3% respectively. The differences were statistic significant. CONCLUSION: With traditional Chinese food, the utilization of reduced iron in child-bearing-age women was 2.1%, and the rate of absorbed iron incorporated into red blood cells was 91.3%.
