At that point, the researched added some iron to Miriah's food, so her daily intake of the mineral would be 1 mg. After 1 week, the researchers checked the iron content of Miriah's blood, and although it was higher than the earlier value, she still complained about feeling tired. In the weeks that followed, the scientists continued to increase Miriah's iron intake by 1 mg/week and check her for signs and symptoms of iron deficiency. After a week of taking 6 mg of iron/day, she reported feeling like "her old self" and having plenty of energy. Based on this information, the researchers concluded that Miriah's
