Scientists measure what pregnant women really need to eat

NCT ID NCT07437248

Summary

This study aims to understand how much leucine, an essential protein building block, healthy pregnant women need during early and late pregnancy. Researchers will measure how the body uses leucine by having 40 participants eat carefully prepared meals and provide breath, urine, and blood samples. The results will help create better nutrition guidelines to support both maternal health and healthy baby development.
