About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to test adding choline to ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Malawi. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Will the addition of a 500mg daily dose of choline to RUTF during treatment for SAM improve cognitive development among 6-59-month-old Malawian children compared with standard RUTF without added choline?
