“BACKGROUND Although acute consumption of high doses of prebiotic galacto-oligosaccharides GOS ) increases fractional iron absorption (FIA) from ferrous fumarate (FeFum), it is uncertain if low doses of GOS have this effect.”
“RESULTS Giving 7 g of GO si gnificantly increased FIA from FeF um (+ 26%; P = 0.039), whereas 3.5 g GOS did not (P = 0.130).”
