About this study

This study evaluates changes in Vitamin D, Zinc, and Iron status of children consuming 2 servings / day of the investigational (test) young children's milk (YCM) for 16 weeks compared to children of the same age who consume their habitual pattern of beverage intake for the same duration.

Read the detailed description

The overall purpose of the study is to demonstrate improved vitamin D status and/or improved iron status of children ages 1 to 3 years who are consuming the investigational (test) young children's milk (YCM) compared to children consuming their habitual pattern of beverage intake (milk and non-milk beverages). This is based on previous study findings that (i) the toddler's diet, in reality, is often not optimal, putting toddlers at risk of insufficient intakes of several nutrients, and (ii) consuming YCM supplemented with these nutrients might provide optimal intakes of these nutrients.

Being tested
Young children's milk (1-<3)

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change in Vitamin D and Iron status

    measure blood vitamin D and Iron value

  1. change in Zinc status

    measure blood Zinc value

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Assess micronutrient intake

    Using 24 hour dietary recall

    Measured: 16 weeks
