Registered summary

Maternal iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is associated with maternal and infant mortality, spontaneous preterm birth, maternal postpartum hemorrhage, and neurocognitive defects in the neonate. Therefore, preventing maternal IDA in at-risk women is critical. The standard approach to improving iron status in pregnancy (i.e., oral iron supplements) is suboptimal and gastrointestinal discomforts associated with this approach (i.e., constipation) impairs adherence.
