  1. * Supplemented with prebiotic blend of PDX and GOS at 4 g/L.
  2. † Supplemented with GOS at 4 g/L.
  3. ‡ Sources of protein: non-fat dry milk and whey protein concentrate.
  4. §Sources of fat: base blend of palm olein, soybean, coconut, and high oleic sunflower oils; DHA from algal oil and ARA from fungal oil.
  5. ||Sources of carbohydrate: Control, 10.9 g lactose; PDX/GOS, 10.0 g lactose and 0.6 g prebiotic oligosaccharides; GOS, 10.0 g lactose and 0.6 g prebiotic oligosaccharides.
  6. ¶Sources of calcium: In all study formulas, 66% of calcium was derived from non-fat dry milk and whey protein concentrate. In the Control, the remaining 34% was derived from calcium carbonate. In both the PDX/GOS and GOS, the remaining 34% was derived from calcium gluconate.
