Official Title: Thiamin Fortified Fish Sauce as a Means of Combating Infantile Beriberi in Rural Cambodia
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether consumption of thiamin fortified fish sauce over 6 months increases the thiamin status of women to a level consistent with a low risk of infantile beriberi. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of thiamin-fortified fish sauce will increase red blood cell thiamin concentrations, an indicator of thiamin status, in women consuming thiamin-fortified fish sauce, while concentrations will not change in women consuming a placebo fish sauce that does not contain thiamin.
