First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

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