Vitamin K Protection in Breastfed Newborns Study
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.

This study looks at how well different forms of vitamin K are absorbed by your body. You'll be given a special labeled version of vitamin K, and researchers will measure how it works in your system.
This study tests whether taking vitamin A supplements can increase the amount of vitamin A in breast milk for mothers who gave birth very early. This is important because vitamin A helps premature babies grow and develop.
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 is testing whether giving preterm babies (born at 24 to 32 weeks) a high, carefully monitored dose of vitamin D right after birth helps improve their health compared to standard care.
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 tests whether taking vitamin D3 and K2 supplements can improve health in military healthcare workers who have low vitamin D levels. If you qualify, you will stop any current vitamin D or K supplements and take the study supplement for 4.5 months.
