Summary

This study looks at how well malnourished children absorb iron from ready-to-use therapeutic foods. Researchers will compare healthy children with those who have acute malnutrition to see if too much iron causes problems like diarrhea. The goal is to make a safer, more effective food that helps treat malnutrition and anemia.
