TL;DR: Iron pyrophosphate-fortified fruit juice improves Fe status and may be used to prevent Fe-deficiency anaemia.

TL;DR: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is very high in iron-deficient women, and the recovery of iron status by consuming an iron-fortified food does not affect 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels; however, the increase in iron supply to tissues is lower if the women also presentitamin D deficiency.

TL;DR: Iron-fortified flavored skim milk does not improve iron status in iron-deficient menstruating women, however, vitamin D fortification slightly enhances erythropoiesis and iron status.
