Project Objectives

This study aims to determine the level of vitamins and minerals that will optimize birth outcomes among pregnant women in Bangladesh. Current antenatal supplements such as Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) are formulated using the Dietary Reference Intake levels of vitamins and minerals, and while MMS improves pregnancy outcomes and maternal and young child nutritional status, it does not to fully resolve nutritional deficiencies. Participants in MiNDR will receive from one to three times the DRI levels of different vitamins and minerals, and the study will characterize the dose-response and (to the extent possible) the pharmacokinetics of the different micronutrients at each level.
