Nicotinamide riboside to boost breast milk for very premature infants
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether an oral supplement called nicotinamide riboside can increase milk output in mothers of extremely premature babies. If it works, it may help you provide enough breast milk for your baby’s early NICU needs.
