Summary

This study tests whether teaching pregnant women about choline-rich foods can improve their own health and their baby's development. Researchers will give virtual nutrition lessons to 102 healthy pregnant women and track their choline intake, placental function, and infant body fat. The goal is to see if simple dietary guidance can make a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Choline nutrition education (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that simple dietary advice during pregnancy improves placental function and infant body composition.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (102 participants) with no blinding or placebo, so results may not be generalizable. It only measures dietary intake and body fat, not long-term health outcomes.

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2025

Expected to finish

May 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
