The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies to tell you what supplements affect Fatigue (non-anemic).
Full details on all Fatigue (non-anemic) supplements are available to Examine Plus members.
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.

In people without anemia, but who have iron deficiency or low ferritin levels, increasing iron stores through oral or intravenous supplementation can reduce fatigue somewhat. It's unclear if the average person with iron levels traditionally considered to be sufficient can benefit from increased iron intake in this regard, though what research we have suggests that it's unlikely.
