Micronutrient supplements for early infant growth and development
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether early infant nutrition using specific micronutrients (small amounts of key vitamins and nutrients) can support healthy growth and development. It includes babies whose moms plan to breastfeed for long enough, and it excludes infants with serious health problems.

This trial tests a special vitamin supplement (MMSPlus) given before and after birth to improve baby growth. Pregnant women with a healthy single baby can join, and then continue after birth if they plan to breastfeed.
This study compares two forms of vitamin B12 to see how well they improve or maintain B12 levels in adults who eat vegetarian. It may help people understand which type of B12 works best for supporting normal B12 status.
This research study follows patients with methylmalonic acidemia (a rare metabolic disorder affecting how the body breaks down certain proteins) or cobalamin (vitamin B12) disorders to better understand how these conditions develop and progress over time. Researchers will collect medical information, blood samples, and eye exams to help improve future treatments.
This study checks whether giving pregnant women multiple micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) supplements improves outcomes for mothers and babies. You may also be asked to participate during routine antenatal care visits in participating health facilities.
