Summary

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that trimester-specific supplements improve nutritional status better than generic ones for pregnant women with food insecurity.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with only 600 participants, so results may not apply to all pregnant women. The study measures blood markers, not direct health outcomes.
