Micronutrient-targeted foods to help children recover from malnutrition
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nutrition supplement (made from selected food ingredients) can support lasting recovery from moderate or severe acute malnutrition in young children. It may help children regain weight and stay healthier after initial treatment.
