The effect of iron supplementation on intestinal permeability was examined as part of a randomized iron plus multi-micronutrient (without iron) supplementation trial in Zambian children (n=153; mean age 10.2 years) over period of ten months.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Iron supplementation resulted in a higher lactulose to mannitol ratio indicating increased intestinal permeability as compared to controls whereas there was no impact of no effect of multi-micronutrient supplementation. The authors (Nchito and colleagues) speculated that this could in part explain the deleterious health effects of iron documented in some studies.
Preponderance of evidence suggests that unselected addition of multiple micronutrients to iron supplementation in children with iron deficiency anemia only marginally improve response as assessed by hemoglobin; on the other hand, these additional unselected micronutrients may have an adverse impact of their own and the routine use for treatment of iron deficiency anemia may not be justified.
Bottom line: Everything should be in moderation; iron can be toxic; you should take iron if you need it, but be sure that you do actually need it in consultation with your physician.
