Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in the micronutrient status in the study subjects at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The primary outcome measures will be change from baseline in the micronutrient status in the study subjects at end of intervention.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in cognitive performance at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in cognitive test scores at the end of the intervention for all subjects.

  • Change from baseline in the physical performance at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in the physical test scores at end of intervention for all subjects

  • Change from baseline in the fatigue score at 6 months [ Time Frame: Baseline and Endline (six months) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in the fatigue score at end of intervention for all subjects

  • Morbidity Assessment [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Morbity will be recorded on a weekly basis from the start until the end of the intervention

  • Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiency [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Prevalence of micronutrient deficiency in each study arm at the end the intervention

  • Change from baseline in anthropometric scores at 6 months [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Change from baseline in anthropometric measures (Standardized (WHO, 2007) weight for age, height for age and BMI for age of the study subjects) at the end of the intervention
