Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study addresses treatment of iron deficiency, the most common nutritional deficiency that infants and young children encounter. With the knowledge that iron deficiency may irreversibly affect a baby's long-term neurodevelopment and behavior, the investigators are offering free screening blood draws at Children's Hospital Colorado to older babies and toddlers (9-24 months old). If their blood results indicate a serum ferritin of ≤ 15 micrograms/dL without the presence of an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), they will be invited to continue in the intervention portion of the study, where they will receive iron supplements as well as vitamin E (or placebo) for an eight week treatment period. The rationale for the study is to test whether addition of Vitamin E, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, improves the treatment response to supplemental iron.
