The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of iron-fortified infant formulas in promoting normal growth and development in healthy infants.
Hightower Clinical evaluated the growth and tolerance of health-term infants for a healthier future.
Infant development is a crucial phase marked by rapid physical and cognitive changes. Healthy growth during the first few months of life lays the foundation for a child’s long-term well-being. Nutrition plays a key role, with essential vitamins and minerals like iron promoting optimal growth, brain development, and immune function. Monitoring infants’ growth helps ensure they are meeting developmental milestones and thriving during these formative months.
This 16-week study focused on evaluating the growth and tolerance of healthy term infants fed iron-fortified formula. Conducted across multiple centers, the trial followed FDA-established guidelines to assess whether the formula supports normal growth and development. The findings aimed to contribute valuable insights into infant nutrition and growth standards.
