Brief Summary

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

To assess growth of children (enrolled between 11.5 and 13.5 months) fed with two iso-energetic, young-child formulas with different protein content during the second year of life

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed to investigate in a randomized double-blind parallel-group trial the growth and metabolic effects of different contributions of protein to total energy intakes in healthy children during the second year of life
