Inhibiting Dietary Iron Absorption in Subjects With Hereditary Hemochromatosis by a Natural Polyphenol Supplement

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2019
Polyphenolic compounds are very strong Inhibitors of non‐heme iron absorption, as they form insoluble complexes with ferrous iron. Patients with hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) have an increased intestinal non‐heme iron absorption due to a genetic mutation in the regulatory pathway, leading to excess iron in the body. This study investigates the inhibitory effect of a natural polyphenol Supplement in participants with HH.
