In human milk, the triglycerides have a special structure, with about 70-80% of the palmitic acid located in the middle position (sn-2). Studies have shown that in the middle position, the palmitic acid is well-absorbed, delivering more of the fat and calcium that benefit babies' growth and comfort. INFAT® PRO is our most concentrated grade, with 60% or more of the palmitic acid bound to the second position (sn-2 palmitate).. Higher concentration of sn-2 palmitate, and thus higher absorption of palmitic acid, has been shown in multiple studies to reduce the formation of calcium soaps in babies stool. This increases calcium absorption, improving bone mineral density and strength. It also results in softer stools, and increased comfort for the baby. Higher palmitic acid absorption has also been shown to support beneficial gut microbiota and intestinal health.
