This study of 432 people (98% female) with iron deficiency anemia found that the administration of iron supplements alone was as effective as the administration of iron supplements AND vitamin C supplements. Comment: Note that although not statistically significant, there was a slightly improved response in the group receiving vitamin C along with iron supplements. The difference, however, is likely to not only be statistically insignificant but also clinically insignificant. JAMA Netw Open . 2020 Nov 2;3(11):e2023644.    (retrieved Nov, 2020).
