These studies assessed the efficacy, bioavailability, safety and acceptability of Sprinkles in diverse settings. Three pilot projects showing effectiveness were done in Bangladesh, Mongolia and Pakistan. Overall results show Sprinkles to be successful in treating and preventing anemia. Sprinkles were also shown to be well tolerated by children, easy to administer and acceptable to their caregivers. Cure rates of anemia ranged from 49-91%, depending on the confounding presence of other factors that also lead to anemia, such as malaria.
