简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of infant formula with high percentage of palmitic acid at the sn-2 position (InFat™) on improving fat absorption and general gastrointestinal tolerance in Chinese formula-fed term infants.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of infant formula with high percentage of palmitic acid at the sn-2 position (InFat™) as compared to standard vegetable oil based infant formula on general gastrointestinal tolerance and fat absorption, reducing calcium soaps formation and stool hardness in Chinese formula-fed term infants.
