Iodine supplement during breastfeeding for baby brain development
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking a daily iodine-containing multivitamin (a multiple micronutrient supplement) while breastfeeding from early after birth can improve infant brain (neurodevelopment) outcomes. It may help babies whose moms are breastfeeding exclusively for several months.

This study tests whether a carefully designed iodine supplement can help prevent iodine deficiency and related thyroid problems in young women across Europe. It might be a good fit if you are a healthy, non-pregnant woman aged 18-24.
This study tests whether a special form of folate (5-MTHF) can improve the health of new mothers who are breastfeeding. It may help understand how nutrients affect recovery and milk production.
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 measures how iodine levels change during pregnancy and how the body keeps breast milk iodine stable during breastfeeding. It mainly looks at factors like diet, health history, and thyroid function, to understand why iodine handling differs over time.
This study compares the effects of multiple micronutrients (MMS), iron and folic acid (IFA), or a combination (MMS+IFA) in pregnancy. It aims to find which supplement best supports mother and baby health.
This study looks at whether certain nutrients in breast milk (DHA, choline, and lutein) are linked to early thinking skills in babies. It may help researchers understand which nutrition factors could support healthy brain development.
