Study Summary
This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled trial will evaluate the effects of human lactoferrin supplementation combined with low-dose iron on iron status, aerobic performance, and lactate metabolism in exercising women with low ferritin. Approximately 30 healthy, menstruating women aged 18-45 years with serum ferritin \<35 µg/L will be enrolled in an 8-week intervention. Participants will be stratified by baseline ferritin status and randomized to receive 100 mg lactoferrin + 5 mg iron, 300 mg lactoferrin + 5 mg iron, or placebo + 5 mg iron daily. Primary outcomes include changes in ferritin and hematological parameters. Secondary outcomes include VO₂peak, time to exhaustion, and blood lactate responses during standardized treadmill testing. This study will determine whether lactoferrin enhances iron homeostasis and improves physiological and performance outcomes in exercising women with low iron stores.
