NCT ID NCT06214897
First seen Dec 19, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding choline (a nutrient found in eggs and meat) to standard food supplements helps children aged 6-59 months with moderate acute malnutrition avoid worsening to severe acute malnutrition. About 1,500 children in Malawi will receive either standard or choline-enriched food for up to 12 weeks. The goal is to see if the extra choline reduces the number of kids who become severely malnourished.
