Nutritional Intervention With Tenebrio Molitor Powder in Children With Chronic Malnutrition in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a dietary supplement based on Tenebrio molitor (mealworm flour) can improve nutritional status and biomarkers of micronutrient deficiency in children aged 2-10 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: • Does regular supplementation with Tenebrio molitor flour improve chronic malnutrition status Researchers will compare the intervention group (children receiving Tenebrio molitor flour supplement) with the control group (children receiving a traditional maize-soy flour supplement) to assess differences in biochemical and anthropometric outcomes after the intervention period. Participants will: * Participate in baseline and follow-up anthropometric and blood sample assessments (hemoglobin, albumin, zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, folic acid, vitamin B12, prealbumin). * Consume a daily dietary supplement (either Tenebrio molitor flour or maize-soy flour) for the duration of the intervention. * Provide information on dietary intake and general health status through structured questionnaires administered by the research team.
