Eggs for Gut Health
Egg to Ameliorate Environmental Enteric Dysfunction and Improve Growth in Children With Moderate Acute Malnutrition
The goal of this clinical trial is to test egg powder supplementation in children with moderate acute malnutrition in Sierra Leone. The main question it aims to answer is:
- Will provision of 15g of whole egg powder per day during and after treatment for moderate acute malnutrition (for 24 weeks total) improve small intestinal permeability and linear growth among 6-30 month old Sierra Leonean children compared with daily corn powder supplementation?
