The clinical effect of a high sn-2 palmitate, prebiotics enriched and partially hydrolyzed whey protein formula in term infants with constipation

A clinical study found that a high sn-2 palmitate, prebiotics enriched and partially hydrolyzed whey protein formula resulted in a strong tendency of softer stools in constipated infants.

Save (for later)

The addition of a high concentration sn-2 palmitic acid prebiotic oligosaccharides and partially hydrolyzed whey protein resulted in a strong tendency of softer stools in constipated infants, but not in a difference in defecation frequency.
