Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

One of the newest strategies to combat micronutrient deficiencies is the biofortification of staple foods, where higher levels of minerals are obtained through breeding of staple crops. The aim of this study is to evaluate zinc absorption from a rice biofortified with zinc when compared with a control rice fortified with zinc just before consumption.
