Pills iron reduces fatigue by 50%, even if you do not suffer from anemia. This is the conclusion, researchers from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
12 weeks of regular reception tablets with iron enough to reduce the effects of fatigue almost half of the women who participated in the study. Moreover, although the level of iron in their body before the start of the experiment was short, they do not suffer from its deficiency, that is, were not victims of anemia.
Fatigue is one of the most common complaints of patients attending general practitioners. Fatigue complain about every third time visit. At the same time, scientists believe that women are three times more likely to become victims of male fatigue. Swiss researchers recruited 198 women of childbearing age (18 to 50 years), who have low levels of iron, but there was no anemia. All of them complained of unexplained wave of tiredness and fatigue suffered by women grew every day.
Half the ladies subsequently received tablets with iron And the other half a placebo. After three months, women in the first group reported significant improvement - symptoms of fatigue were reduced by almost half. In the second group managed to reduce fatigue by only 19% due to the placebo effect.
The researchers note that the iron had no effect on levels of anxiety or depression, or quality of life indicators such as physical and mental health. Iron supplements it perfectly coped with fatigue, which suggests that iron deficiency is one of the reasons women's fatigue.
