The goal of this clinical trial is to test egg powder supplementation in children with
moderate acute malnutrition in Sierra Leone. The main question it aims to answer is:
- Will provision of 15g of whole egg powder per day during and after treatment for moderate
acute malnutrition (for 24 weeks total) improve small intestinal permeability and linear
growth among 6-30 month old Sierra Leonean children compared with daily corn powder
supplementation?
