Enhanced infant formula containing liposome encapsulated nutrients and agents

摘要

An infant formula contains liposomes which improve the nutritional delivery of nutrients, stabilize ingredients, and enhance their bioavailabilty. The formula more closely resembles the ultrastructure and infrastructure of natural human milk due to the presence of liposomes. The lipid concentration is in the range of 0.1-50% of the formulation. The typical size of the liposomes range between about 20 nm and about 500 nm. The formula can be formulated to be in a liquid or dry form. The phospholipid concentration is the same as that which occurs in human milk.
