Available scientific evidence does show untargeted iron supplementation to have unfavorable consequences, that is yet to be fully understood. In the backdrop of these findings, untargeted iron supplementation runs the risk of doing more harm than good and therefore targeted iron supplementation as a public health strategy may be more appropriate. Development of Low Dose Highly Bioavailable Iron formulations in a cost-effective format for use in supplementation programs is urgently needed. Well planned research in this direction is required to evaluate in diverse settings clinical and functional outcomes to low dose highly bioavailable iron supplementation to better understand efficacy and adverse effects if any in the both short and long term.
