Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Infants will be given the content of one capsule (mixed in infant formula or breast milk) twice daily (morning and evening) for 15 weeks. Follow-up visits will take place at study days 14±3, 42±3, 70±4 and 105±4.
Caregivers will keep a diary of the volume of formula intake/minutes of breastfeeding, stool frequency and consistency (hard, formed, soft/paste or loose/watery), symptoms of digestive tolerance (regurgitation and flatulence), sleeping time, crying/fussing time and episodes for 3 days before each visit. At each visit, the research team will review the diary and conduct physical examination, including anthropometric measurements (weight, recumbent length, and head circumference).
Fecal samples will be collected prior to the first administration of the assigned study product and at the end of study for microbiota analysis.
Adverse events (AEs) will be assessed based on inquires to the caregivers. AEs will be classified as related or unrelated based on a relationship to study product intake according to the investigator.
