Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
