There are few studies in children, particularly in the UK, aimed at examining relationships between the intake of specific micronutrients and currently accepted biochemical/functional indices of status. Consequently, the normal range of values for biochemical indices of status in this age-group, and the functional significance of low biochemical status, is unknown. Hence, dietary requirements h...

In a double-blind trial lasting for 28 d, one group received a vitamin-mineral supplement daily and the other group a placeb...
متن کاملA Micronutrient Fortified Beverage Given at Different Dosing Frequencies Had Limited Impact on Anemia and Micronutrient Status in Filipino Schoolchildren
This study evaluated the effects of a multi-micronutrient fortified juice drink given in different frequencies of consumption on hemoglobin (Hb) concentration of schoolchildren. Hb was measured in 2423 schoolchildren aged 6- to 9-years-old at baseline. All anemic children (n = 246) were randomly allocated into groups: Daily dose (HD: high dose), 5X/week (MD: Moderate Dose), 3X/week (LD: Low Dos...
متن کاملExperimental Markets for Micronutrient Supplements to Prevent Undernutrition: Estimating Household Demand Persistence in Rural Burkina Faso
The success of Plumpy’Nut® in treating severe acute malnutrition revolutionized the treatment of malnutrition and sparked efforts to develop Lipid-based Nutrient Supplement (LNS) products aimed at preventing undernutrition. The move from therapeutic to preventative LNS products has fundamental implications for supply chains and implies that private demand and the private sector will likely play...
متن کاملEfficacy trials of a micronutrient dietary supplement in schoolchildren and pregnant women in Tanzania.
Traditionally, the main strategies used to control micronutrient deficiencies have been food diversification, consumption of medicinal supplements, and food fortification. In Tanzania, we conducted efficacy trials using a dietary supplement as a fourth approach. These were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled efficacy trials conducted separately first in children and later in pregnant w...
