Summary
Iron deficiency problem has always been in Taiwan. This is a randomized, double-blind trial.
Subjects separate to 3 groups, one group (n = 20) take two Natureheme-iron capsules a day for
a total of 12 weeks, another group (n = 20) with the same dose of placebo, and the other
group (n = 20) is a commercial iron supplement. Investigators assess whether Natureheme-iron
