Interventions
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Encapsulated Calcium

The intervention is a multi-micronutrient powder containing enteric-coated calcium carbonate, in addition to ferrous fumarate (60 mg of elemental iron) and folic acid (400 µg).

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Non-capsulated Calcium

The comparator/control intervention is a micronutrient powder containing non-coated calcium (500, 1000 or 1500 mg elemental calcium from calcium carbonate), ferrous fumarate (60 mg of elemental iron) and folic acid (400 µg). This product will be similar in Ca dose, appearance, taste and texture to the experimental formulation but will not include the enteric-coating.
