NCT ID NCT06214897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding choline (a nutrient found in eggs and meat) to a standard food supplement helps children with moderate acute malnutrition avoid becoming severely malnourished. About 1,500 children aged 6 to 59 months in Malawi will receive either the standard supplement or one with extra choline for up to 12 weeks. Researchers will compare how many children worsen, recover, or gain weight.
