The main question it aims to answer is: \- whether the Anemia (measured by serum ferritin level and hemoglobin concentration Level in blood) is improved after the intervention 36 qualified participants will be enrolled and assigned to two equal-size groups with study product (Minayo Iron-rich Nutritional Gummies) and placebo product (common gummies) in one study center in Shanghai. The study will last 4 weeks and three site visits will be made, during which all clinical data will be captured and entered to EDC system for statistical analysis and reporting.
