NCT ID NCT06875947
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding Moringa leaf powder to standard iron pills can better improve hemoglobin levels in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia. About 59 women in their third trimester will take either Moringa capsules plus iron or iron alone for 60 days. Researchers will measure blood counts, iron markers, and inflammation to see if the natural supplement offers extra benefits.
