Increased iron status during a feeding trial of iron-biofortified beans increases physical work efficiency in Rwandan women
Background
Iron-biofortified staple foods can improve iron status and resolve iron deficiency. However, whether improved iron status from iron biofortification can improve physical performance remains unclear.
Objective
Background: Evidence suggests that iron deficiency (ID) affects cognitive performance, as measured in behavior.
Wheat biofortified with zinc fertilizer provides a similar portion of daily zinc requirements as post-harvest fortified flour.
