Effect of the specific infant formula mixture of oligosaccharides on local immunity and development of allergic and infectious disease in young children: randomized study

Conclusions The mixture of prebiotic oligosaccharides (scGOS/lcFOS – 9:1; 8g/L) has a similar to breast milk positive impact on the factors of local digestive immunity system in formula-fed infants. This effect may reduce the risk of allergic and infectious diseases in children aged up to 18 months of life, compared with babies fed with the standard formula without oligosaccharides.
