The present invention relates to the use of a nutritional composition having a low amount of protein, such as less than 1.8 g/100 kcal for administration to infants of non-obese and non-overweight mothers so as to reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, increased weight gain, increased fat deposition, overweight, obesity, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance or diabetes mellitus later in said infant's life.

Use of nutritional compositions having a low protein amount

A nutritional composition for infants at risk of developing obesity later in life comprises a protein source, a lipid source and a carbohydrate source and has a protein content of less than 1.8 g/100 kcal and an energy density of less than 650 kcal/liter.

Nutritional composition

The use of docosahexaenoic acid in the manufacture of a composition for administration to a pregnant woman for reducing the risk of development of overweight or obesity of the baby in infancy and/or early childhood.

Maternal supplement

The invention relates to an infant formula comprising a source of protein in an amount of not more than 2.0 g/100 kcal, a source of lipids, a source of carbohydrate and a probiotic wherein the probiotic is present in an amount equivalent to between 10and 10cfu/g of dry formula. The invention further extends to the use of such an infant formula to modulate the immune system of a neonatal infant to promote the development in the first few weeks of the life of the infant of a beneficial intestinal microbiota comparable with that found in breast fed babies as well as to promote the maturation of the immune system of a neonatal infant in the first few weeks of life.

Infant formula with probiotics

A composition for an infant formula which includes casein protein and whey protein; a method of producing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product for addressing malnutrition; and a method of addressing malnutrition which includes administering an effective amount of the composition are provided. The composition includes protein, free arginine; tryptophan and histidine, a lipid source and a carbohydrate source. In addition, the whey protein is sweet whey protein from which caseino-glyco-macropeptide has been removed.

Composition comprising casein protein and whey protein

A prebiotic for enhancement of an immune response, a nutritional composition for enhancement of an immune response; use of a prebiotic in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional composition for enhancement of an immune response; use of a prebiotic in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional composition for the prevention or treatment of measles; a method of enhancing an immune response which comprises administering an effective amount of a prebiotic; and a method of prevention or treatment of measles which comprises administering an effective amount of a prebiotic. In preferred embodiments the prebiotic comprises a fructo-oligosaccharide.

Immune response enhancement methods

A nutritional composition is described for prevention or treatment of an immune condition. The composition includes at least vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, copper, zinc, selenium, fructo-oligosaccharides and/or gum acacia, a probiotic lactic acid bacterium. For example, in an embodiment it comprises per 300 g: 150 IU Vitamin E, 120 mg Vitamin C, 2 mg Vitamin B6, 400 ug Folic acid, 3.8 ug Vitamin B12, 1.5 mg Copper, 15 mg Zinc, 100 ug Selenium, 3 g Fructo-oligosaccharides and/or gum acacia, 10E10 cfu ST11 lactobacillus. Also disclosed are a method for making the nutritional composition, a method for manufacturing a functional food or medicament; and a method of prevention or treatment of an immune condition by administering an effective amount of the composition, functional food or medicament.

Nutritional composition for treating an immune condition

A composition for an infant formula which comprises a low threonine content; a method of producing the composition; use of the composition in the manufacture of a medicament or nutritional product for addressing the nutritional needs and providing healthy growth of an infant; and a method of addressing the nutritional needs and providing healthy growth of an infant which comprises administering an effective amount of the composition. A preferred embodiment of the composition comprises all of: i) acid whey protein or sweet whey protein from which caseino-glyco-macropeptide has been removed; and ii) free arginine; and iii) free histidine; and iv) free tyrosine or free tryptophan or tryptophan rich milk protein or a mixture thereof.

Composition for an infant formula having a low threonine content

A nutritional enteral composition intended for favoring the growth and maturation of non-mature gastro-intestinal tracts of young mammals, which contains as a protein source a mixture of dietary protein hydrolysates and intact proteins being partly in the form of bioactive peptides.

Nutritional composition intended for specific gastro-intestinal maturation in premature mammals
