Infant Formula with LCPUFA Help Develop Brains and Hearts
September 22/Lawrence, Kansas/ANI -- Infant formulas fortified with long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are good for developing brains and hearts according to new evidence provided by scientists.
In the University of Kansas study, researchers fed 122 term infants one of four formulas from birth to 12 months, three were given varying levels of two LCPUFAs (DHA and ARA) and one formula with no LCPUFA, and tested at four, six and nine months of age.
