Clinical trials

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically for women after childbirth can improve their nutrition and health in women who are pregnant or have recently given birth (within 6 weeks). The main question it aims to answer is: Can a postpartum-specific vitamin and mineral supplement help improve nutritional status and health outcomes in women after giving birth? Researchers will compare women who take the new postpartum vitamin and mineral supplement to women who take a placebo (fake pills without active ingredients) to see if the supplement improves their nutritional health. Participants will: Attend 2 visits at University of Georgia (1-1.5 hours each) over 12 weeks Participate in 2 phone calls between visits Stop taking other vitamin/mineral supplements during the study Have blood drawn to test vitamin and mineral levels Provide urine samples and breastmilk samples if breastfeeding (optional) Have height, weight, and skin color measured Complete questionnaires about health, pregnancy, and mental wellness Answer questions about daily food and drink intake Take either the study supplement or placebo daily

Clinical Trial Summary The goal of this clinical trial is to address the impact of a gummy prenatal vs a capsule based prenatal in pregnant women. The main question it aims to answer is: Does 12-week daily administration of Prenatal Capsule affect serum iron levels in pregnant women in their second trimester compared to a comparator gummy prenatal? Researchers will compare Prenatal Capsule to a comparator Prenatal Gummy to see if there are differences in serum iron levels after 12 weeks of daily use. Participants will: Take their assigned prenatal supplement (either Prenatal Capsule or the comparator Prenatal Gummy) daily for 12 weeks Be in their second trimester of pregnancy during the study period Have their serum iron levels measured at baseline and after the 12-week intervention period
