"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
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Probiotic LP299v 10x10 colony forming units in capsule form and Placebo in capsule form for Iron-deficiency and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
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.
