Clinical Effects of a Nucleotides-Supplemented Infant Formula
The Clinical Effects of an Infant Formula Supplemented With Various Concentrations of Nucleotides

The study hypothesis is that different concentrations of nucleotides' supplementation of an infant formula might affect differently growth and/or other clinical parameters in neonates.

Three groups of 50 newborn infants each, will be fed for 30 days an infant formula supplemented with either 4.9 mg/100 kcal or 10.6 mg/100 kcal of nucleotides or with no supplementation. Newborns will be monitored prospectively for the following outcome parameters:

  • Growth percentiles.
  • Behaviour and infantile colic.
  • Bowel habits.
  • Side effects.
