Vitamin E is an essential nutrient that functions as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, and has been studied for many potentially beneficial facets of human health, including potential for protection against heart disease14; accelerated aging mediated through DNA damage; and impaired immunity 15. Research in adults giving antioxidants along with iron therapy was associated with reduced oxidative potential. In this study, a palm oil extract containing approximately 7 mg of Vitamin E was supplemented along with iron therapy and was associated with reduced fecal oxidation 16 Alpha-tocopherol is the most studied form of Vitamin E, and has been shown to decrease biomarkers of total body oxidative stress and inflammation 15, 17. We propose to accomplish our primary specific objective by testing the effect on treatment outcomes of administration of Vitamin E along with iron supplements.
