Look for: Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) shows measurable improvement in women of reproductive age on consistent iron — meaning easier breathing on hills and longer cardio sessions. If you are working with a deficit, hemoglobin and ferritin also continue to climb.
Not yet expected: Major changes in cancer risk, cardiovascular events, or mortality from iron — those endpoints are not directly supported by the iron evidence in our database; iron benefits accrue when there is a deficit to correct.
Note: Iron's energy and exercise benefits are most pronounced when you start with a deficit. Vitamin C is included primarily to enhance iron absorption, not for separate weekly outcomes.
