Official title
"Pro-Moms" - Mitigating the Effects of Structural Violence on Maternal Iron Status: a Randomized Placebo Controlled Pilot Study of Probiotic Supplementation in At-risk Pregnant Women
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this randomized supplementation feasibility trial is to learn about the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the probiotic, lactobacillus plantarum 299v (Lp299v), in pregnant individuals at-risk for iron deficiency anemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is daily oral Lp299v a feasible and tolerable intervention for pregnant individuals to uptake? * Does daily oral Lp299v in pregnancy impact maternal and neonatal cord hematological and iron status parameters? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: daily intake or probiotic Lp299v + prenatal vitamin with iron or placebo + prenatal vitamin with iron from 15-20 weeks of gestation through delivery. Researchers will compare the two treatment groups to see if there is a difference in the feasibility of the intervention and the preliminary efficacy on maternal and neonatal cord hematological and iron status parameters.
