Embodiment 1

[0063] Examples of compositions of infant formulas useful in the present invention are given below. The compositions are given by way of illustration only. The protein source was a blend of casein and whey proteins (60%-40%). The following examples may be intended for neonates.

[0064]

[0065]

Embodiment 2

[0067] The following examples illustrate the kit of the invention, a first composition suitable for infants from 0 to 3 months and a second composition suitable for infants from 3 months to 6 months.

[0068]

[0069]

Embodiment 3

[0071] Examples of compositions of follow-on infant formulas for use in the present invention are given below. The composition targets infants from 6 to 12 months. The compositions are given by way of illustration only. Importantly, the following compositions can be combined with the compositions of Example 1 or 2 to make a kit of the invention. These kits provide better nutritional profiles for each individual age, responding to specific nutritional needs. The protein for the following composition comes from a 50 / 50 ratio of whey and casein. In an alternative, the protein is from whey only or 70% (w / w) from whey. In the following example, 16% (w / w) of the carbohydrates were rice carbohydrates (in a similar alternative, 25% of the carbohydrates were rice carbohydrates). In an alternative embodiment the carbohydrates are primarily derived from milk and only contain lactose and maltodextrin (with very low levels of starch - less than 1%, 5% or 10% w / w). Prebiotics (eg GOS, ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to nutritional composition for infants and / or children comprising lactoferrin and probiotics. These compositions have been found to be useful in providing health benefits in infants and / or children. A method of manufacture of these compositions is also part of the invention. These compositions may be in the form of a kit of parts wherein a first composition according to the invention and a second composition according to the invention are each adapted to fulfil the nutritional requirements in two different age groups.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a nutritional composition for infants and / or children comprising lactoferrin and probiotics. These compositions find use in providing health benefits to infants and / or children. Methods of preparing these compositions are also part of the invention. These compositions may be in the form of a kit of parts, wherein each of the first composition of the invention and the second composition of the invention is adapted to meet the nutritional needs of two different age groups. Background of the invention [0002] Lactoferrin is the main component of human breast milk. It is thought to have a wide range of biological functions in infants, including roles in intestinal maturation, immune development, infection prevention, and iron absorption. Lactoferrin is present in human colostrum at very high levels (reported up to 10 g / L), and levels in mature human milk decrease significantly with infant age (2-3 g / L in the first mo...
