High-calorie supplement for malnourished toddlers’ growth
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving a high-calorie oral nutrition supplement helps children aged 1 to 3 years who are undernourished gain weight and grow. You may be eligible if your child has low growth measurements and takes in too few calories for their needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
