Summary

This study tests whether a small-quantity nutrient supplement works as well as the standard medium-quantity version to prevent undernutrition in children aged 6 to 12 months. About 980 babies from low-resource communities in Pakistan will receive one of the two supplements daily for 6 months. Researchers will measure growth and anemia to see if the smaller dose is just as effective.
