This study aims to explore how body fat influences the response to either 25 or 50 mg of daily iron supplements during pregnancy. We will conduct a double-blind randomized controlled intervention study involving 312 pregnant women recruited from antenatal clinics in the Northern Trust Area. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either 25 or 50 mg of iron per day from 12 weeks of pregnancy until delivery, using the Active Iron supplement brand. Blood samples will be collected at 12, 28 and 36 weeks gestation and umbilical cord blood…
