Modulating Early-life Nutrition for Childhood Obesity Prevention
Sponsor: Fundació Sant Joan de Déu
Summary
In this study, betaine intake will be increased in formula-fed infants through formula milk supplementation. To do this, a double-blind randomized study has been designed with the supplementation group (infant formula supplemented with betaine) and control group (unsupplemented infant formula). The main objectives of the study are to determine the safety of supplementation and to assess whether there are changes in infant growth.
