The double-blind, multicentre study demonstrated a considerable increase in Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria in the microbiota, changing the intestinal flora composition to be more similar to breastfed infants.
Enzymotec infant nutrition R&D director Dr Yael Lifshitz said; "This trial indicates that InFat can significantly improve infant formula, making it closer to mother’s milk in terms of infants’ flora composition."
The study conducted at Bnai Zion Medical Center, Israel, and Meir Medical Center, Israel, was designed to assess InFat on the intestinal flora of term infants.
