They were further divided into 10 groups each to receive Fe+Vit-C, Zn+Fe, Vit-A+Zn, Vit-A+Fe& placebo. The intervention was done over a four month period. The supplementation impact was assessed through anthropometric measurements and biochemical parameters. The findings of the study supports the combination of nutrient supplementation as evidenced by significant improvement in the parameters of growth status. And some combinations showed improvement in biochemical status. In conclusion, the study strongly favours combination of nutrients supplement approach will serve as an effective method to combat micronutrient malnutrition. So it exists the positive interaction between the nutrients (micronutrients).
