Abstract
The invention discloses a composition comprising at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid, at least one probiotic and a mixture of oligosaccharides, said mixture containing at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one neutral oligosaccharide, for use in brain growth and/or cognitive and/or psychomotor development. This composition is particularly adapted for use in infants, notably preterm infants.
Claims13
A method for use in brain growth, cognitive, and psychomotor development in an individual comprising administering a composition comprising at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA), at least one probiotic and a mixture of oligosaccharides, the mixture containing at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one neutral oligosaccharide.
A method for use in infants and children who were born preterm or with low-birth weight or experienced intra-uterine growth retardation or who suffered from growth stunting because of malnutrition and/or disease comprising administering a composition to such infants and children comprising at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA), at least one probiotic and a mixture of oligosaccharides, the mixture containing at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one neutral oligosaccharide.
A method for use in brain growth and/or cognitive and/or psychomotor development comprising administering a composition comprising at least one long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA), at least one probiotic and a mixture of oligosaccharides, the mixture containing at least one N-acetylated oligosaccharide, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one neutral oligosaccharide, as a synthetic nutritional agent.
