The ideal formula for healthy term infants / G. Francescato, F. Mosca, C. Agostoni, M. Agosti. - In: EARLY HUMAN DEVELOPMENT. - ISSN 0378-3782. - 89:Suppl. 4(2013), pp. S126-S128. [10.1016/S0378-3782(13)70128-2]
Abstract:
Ideal composition of formulas should be resulting in effects on growth pattern, biochemical markers and
functional outcome comparable with those obtained with exclusive breastfeeding. In terms of composition,
minimum and maximum values are based, where available, on adequate scientific data on infant requirements
and the absence of adverse effects. Whereas to special components, high beta-palmitate content and
LCPUFA supplementation have shown proven benefits. Lactoferrin supplementation holds promising results
in terms of growth and immune response. The use either of prebiotics and probiotics alone, or in combination,
is still a matter of debate. Other components such as polyamine, nucleotides and peptides are still
to be proven of any benefit. Composition of infant formulas should be tailored on providing nutritional or
functional benefits.
