A novel nanoparticulate iron supplement and its effect on the gastrointestinal tract.

缺铁和缺铁性贫血是全球主要的健康问题。目前可用的铁补充剂可能导致胃肠道副作用。我们开发了一种新型的口服铁补充剂，（在动物研究中）与传统治疗一样有效，但没有局限性。在这个项目中，我们将研究这种补充剂对胃肠道的影响，以确保其安全性，并为未来的人体临床试验提供初步数据。

Iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia are major global health issues. Currently available iron supplements can lead to gastrointestinal side effects. We have developed a new type of oral iron supplement that (in animal studies) is as effective as conventional treatments, but without their limitations. In this project we will investigate the effect of this supplement on the gastrointestinal tract to ensure its safety and to provide preliminary data for future clinical trials in humans.
