Suitability of an Infant Formula With Reduced Protein Content Based on a Partial Respectively Extensive Proteinhydrolysate With and Without Pro- and Prebiotics for the Particular Nutritional Use by Infants -Extension by 4 Year Follow-up - Full Text View

Purpose

The study is conducted to examine the suitability of partially respectively extensively hydrolyzed low protein infant formulae with and without pro- and prebiotics for healthy, term infants.

Primary hypothesis to be tested is: an infant formula based on a Protein hydrolysate with modified protein content is non inferior compared to a standard infant formula based on a Protein hyrolysate in respect to proper growth of healthy, term infants within the first four month of life.

4-year follow-up (without further Intervention) will focus on body composition and allergic predisposition.

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: control formula group infants are fed a commercial, hydrolysed formula during the first 4 month of life, according to protocol	Other: control formula infants are fed a commercial hydrolyzed formula
Experimental: intervention formula 1 group infants are fed hydrolyzed infant formula with different protein content during the first 4 month of life, according to protocol	Other: intervention formula 1 formula has hydrolysed protein and a different protein content
Experimental: intervention formula 2 group infants are fed hydrolyzed infant formula with different protein content with pro- and prebiotics during the first 4 month of life, according to protocol	Other: intervention formula 2 formula has hydrolysed protein, different protein content and pro- and prebiotics
Experimental: intervention formula 3 group infants are fed hydrolyzed instant formula with different protein content with pro- and prebiotics during the first 4 months of life, according to protocol	Other: intervention formula 3 formula has hydrolysed protein, different protein content and pro- and prebiotics
No Intervention: Reference group infants are breast fed
