Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Our study aim is to define the ferritin in Kenyan young women at which the body senses iron depletion and begins to upregulate iron absorption from the diet; this approach could provide a functionally defined threshold of iron deficiency in Sub-Saharan African women.
