Human milk is the best nutrition for infants

Human milk provides the optimal nutrition for infants.
It offers perfectly balanced nutrition, naturally meeting the needs of growing infants in the first months of life. In human milk, the fat provides about 50% of the energy newborns require for proper growth
and development.

sn-2 palmitate – a unique feature of human milk

Human milk research has revealed a unique structure where palmitic acid, one of the most abundant fatty acids found in human milk, is usually attached (70-80% of the time) to the middle position in the glycerol back-bone. This typical structure is found in human milk of women irrespective to country of origin, suggesting that it may serve an important function.

INFAT® OPO – Enhances sn-2 palmitate level

In most infant formula produced today, the fat component is based on vegetable oils, where majority of the palmitic acid is positioned on sn-1 or sn-3, and not on sn-2.
INFAT®, a specially structured vegetable oil with palmitic acid bound to the middle position of the triglyceride (TG), also known as sn-2 position, was developed for infant formula to elevate its sn-2 palmitate level, so it is closer to human milk fat structure.
