Preventing Malnutrition in Infants: Comparing Two Nutrient Supplement Amounts
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a small or medium amount of a special nutrient supplement can help prevent malnutrition in babies 6–12 months old. It is for families already in a support program (BISP/BNP) and aims to find the best dose to keep children healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 7.5 months old (26–33 weeks).
- Your family must be getting support from the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) and be registered with the Benazir Nashonuma Programme (BNP) during your pregnancy.
