Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This is an individually randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS) containing 60 and 45 mg iron as compared to MMS containing 30 mg of iron (standard UNIMMAP formulation) on maternal moderate or severe anemia. This study will help inform countries like Tanzania that currently use IFA containing 60 mg of iron regarding the dose of iron to use in MMS.
