VertiGreens Study

This study is assessing the impact of providing iron-biofortified (higher iron content) microgreens on iron intake and status in women. Your participation will improve our understanding of how available the iron from the microgreens is for the human body to absorb.

We are looking for healthy women who are:

  • Not taking iron supplements
  • Not anaemic

What is involved?

  • Drinking a smoothie containing microgreens grown in a vertical farm (kits provided to be stored in the freezer) every day for four weeks
  • Two test days (approximately one-hour duration) to measure body weight and height, take a blood sample and complete a phyisical activity questionnaire.
