Cochrane Review: Treatments for Postpartum Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Miriam Davis, PhD | 18 December 2024

……………………………..

Overall conclusion… ‘Slight improvement only in fatigue’

BUT they don’t comment on female RLS help (~5% of the population) or general health improvements for women who are often anaemic or ferritin = <100ug/L and therefore ’running on low’ all their fertile lives….

Maybe they didn’t need to but I do think it’s an omission not to signpost towards these facts…..
