Infat ® benefits
Multiple human clinical trials conducted with formulas containing fat blends with approximately 20% palmitic acid of which at least 40% was in the sn-2 position, may exert the following benefits to young infants
More Sleep
INFAT® may result in longer sleep duration in the first months of life, compared to standard infant formula. [7]
Less Crying
INFAT® may help reduce crying duration during the first months of life with a pattern closer to that of breast-fed infants, compared to standard infant formula. [6-7]
Softer Stools
INFAT® may support or contribute to softer stools in the first months of life, compared to standard formula. [1, 4-5]
Bone Health
INFAT® may increase bone mineral content as compared to standard infant formula in the first months of life [1,3-4]
Calcium Absorption
INFAT® may support calcium absorption by reducing calcium excretion (as fatty acid salts), compared to standard formula. [2].
Fat Absorption
INFAT® may support fat absorption by reducing fecal palmitic acid as compared to standard infant formula. [1,2]
Beneficial Gut Microbiome
INFAT® may support a healthy gut microbiome similar to breast fed infants during first months of life. [5,8]
