The pro-oxidant effect of oral ferrous iron is known to induce inflammation, causing gastric side-effects and resulting in poor compliance. Curcumin is a potent antioxidant and has also been shown to exhibit iron chelation in-vitro, although it is not established whether these effects are retained in-vivo. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the influence of a formulated bioavailable form of curcumin (HydroCurcTM; 500 mg) on acute iron absorption and status in a double blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial recruiting 155 healthy participants (79 males; 26.42 years \u00b1 0.55 and 76 females; 25.82 years \u00b1 0.54). Participants were randomly allocated to five different treatment groups: iron and curcumin placebo (FS0_Plac), low dose (18 mg) iron and curcumin placebo (FS18_Plac), low dose iron and curcumin (FS18_Curc), high dose (65 mg) iron and curcumin placebo (FS65_Plac), and high dose iron and curcumin (FS65_Curc). Participants were provided with the supplements according to their relevant treatment groups at baseline (0 min), and blood collection was carried out at 0 min and at 180 min following supplementation. In the treatment groups, significant difference was observed in mean serum iron between baseline (0 min) and at end-point (180 min) (F (1, 144) = 331.9, p &lt; 0.0001) with statistically significant intra-group increases after 180 min (p &lt; 0.0001) in the FS18_Plac (8.79 \u00b5mol\/L), FS18_Curc (11.41 \u00b5mol\/L), FS65_Plac (19.09 \u00b5mol\/L), and FS65_Curc (16.39 \u00b5mol\/L) groups. A significant difference was also observed between the two time points in serum TIBC levels and in whole blood haemoglobin (HGB) in the treatment groups, with a significant increase (1.55%\/2.04 g\/L) in HGB levels from baseline to end-point observed in the FS65_Curc group (p &lt; 0.05). All groups receiving iron demonstrated an increase in transferrin saturation (TS%) in a dose-related manner, demonstrating that increases in serum iron are translated into increases in physiological iron transportation. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that regardless of ferrous dose, formulated curcumin in the form of HydroCurc\u2122 does not negatively influence acute iron absorption in healthy humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu13072300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,4]],"date-time":"2021-07-04T22:34:36Z","timestamp":1625438076000},"page":"2300","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Acute Administration of Bioavailable Curcumin Alongside Ferrous Sulphate Supplements Does Not Impair Iron Absorption in Healthy Adults in a Randomised Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9754-0737","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helena Tiekou","family":"Lorinczova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nutraceuticals, School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London W1W 6UW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6878-9314","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gulshanara","family":"Begum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nutraceuticals, School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London W1W 6UW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Derek","family":"Renshaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Sport, Exercise and Life Sciences, Institute for Health and Wellbeing, Coventry University, Priory St, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammed Gulrez","family":"Zariwala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Nutraceuticals, School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London W1W 6UW, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"940","DOI":"10.1016\/S1357-2725(01)00063-2","article-title":"Chemistry and Biology of Eukaryotic Iron Metabolism","volume":"33","author":"Aisen","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int.
