Abstract
This open-label randomized controlled trial in India assessed the impact of a peanut-based energy-dense nutritional supplement (EDNS) on weight gain among undernourished adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis in India. EDNS significantly improved weight gain compared to standard care, offering a scalable solution for targeted nutritional support.
