Summary

This study is testing whether a palm oil free infant formula that contains prebiotics and postbiotics (beneficial compounds from fermentation) is gentle on the digestive system and safe for healthy, full-term babies. Thirty infants, exclusively formula-fed from birth to 6 weeks old, will receive the formula as their only food for 24 weeks. Researchers will track stool patterns, growth, quality of life, and gut microbiome development to see how well the formula is tolerated.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a palm oil free infant formula containing prebiotics and postbiotics derived from fermentation
What this could lead to
If well tolerated, this formula could offer a gentler option for formula-fed infants, potentially reducing digestive discomfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-arm study with only 30 infants, so results may not apply to all babies. No serious risks are expected, but individual tolerance may vary.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion criteria: 1. Parent's or legal guardian's aged 18 years, written informed consent. 2. Infants exclusively formula fed at enrolment and parents/legal guardians have autonomously decided to exclusively formula feed until the end of intervention. 3. Infants aged 0 to 6 weeks (day 0 to day 42 inclusive). 4. Healthy term singleton infants, gestational age \~ 37 and \< 42 weeks (i.e.,\~ 41 weeks+ 6 days). Healthy is defined as no supervision or medical treatment by a medical specialist. 5. Birth weight between 2.5 - 4.5 kg (within normal range for gestational age and sex, according to WHO definitions). 6. Willing to continue using the infant formula, during the study, not switching of formula, except for medical purposes in which case the infant would be excluded. Exclusion criteria: 1. Infants with congenital condition and/or previous or current illness and (or) medication use that could interfere with the study, in the opinion of the medical doctor. 2. Infants with established or suspected cows' milk allergy, lactose intolerance, galactosaemia, or infants on a prescribed fibre-free (e.g., prebiotic oligosaccharides) diet. 3. Participation in any other studies involving investigational or marketed products concomitantly or within two weeks prior to entry into the study. 4. Investigator's uncertainty about the willingness or ability of the parents/legal guardians to comply with the protocol requirements.
