INFAT®MF – A vegetable-based fat component enriched with milk fat
INFAT®MF is a blend offered by Advanced Lipids.
The combination of INFAT® and milk fat brings the best of two worlds to infants: the optimized calcium and fat absorption made possible by the special vegetable-based fat structure of INFAT®, with at least 40% sn-2 palmitate, together with the fatty acid structure derived from milk fat1.
This unique combination enables manufacturers to offer enriched formulas that support comfort and provide a more natural taste.
Double the Advantage
With INFAT®MF, infant formula manufacturers can offer mothers a dual advantage: a superior vegetable-based fat component enriched with milk fat.
Formulas containing > 40% sn-2 palmitate* when compared to standard formula may support calcium absorption by reducing calcium excretion (as fatty acid salts).
Formulas containing > 40% sn-2 palmitate* may support fat absorption by reducing fecal palmitic acid as compared to standard infant formula.
* Clinical trials were conducted with formulas containing fat blends with approximately 20% palmitic acid of which approximately 40% was in the sn-2 position.
