Summary

This study tests whether infant formula with added bioactive ingredients helps healthy babies grow well, tolerate the formula, and have fewer infections. About 456 full-term infants will receive either the test formula or a standard formula. Parents will report any infection symptoms and the babies' growth will be measured.
