A nutritional composition for improving the immunological function of a subject, including a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which has a fermentation rate which is demonstrably slower than that of galacto-oligosaccharide.

Nutritional composition to promote healthy development and growth

A nutritional composition having a lipid or fat; a protein source; a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and up to about 2.5% by weight of a source of supplemental calcium which, when dissociated, provides a cation having prebiotic functionality.

A nutritional formula which includes a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which comprises galacto-oligosaccharide; and about 0.015 to about 0.1 (pg/&#x3bc;g) ppm of TGF-&#x3b2;.

A nutritional composition including a lipid or fat; a protein source; at least about 5 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and at least about 0.2 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises a plurality of oligosaccharides such that the overall fermentation rate profile of the prebiotic composition provides an increased population of beneficial bacteria in the human gut over an extended period of time.

The present invention is directed an improved nutritional composition, methods of improving digestion, and methods of enhancing the bioavailability of TGF-&#x3b2;.
