Effectiveness of Combined Vitamin D and Iron Supplementation on Iron Status in Children with Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Both iron alone and iron with vitamin D improved hematological parameters in children with iron deficiency anemia. Combined iron and vitamin D therapy showed a significant ferritin increase, suggesting that adding vitamin D may support better iron storage. J. Med. Invest. 72 : 337-342, August, 2025.
