The fatty acids in human breast milk and infant formula provide approximately 60% of the energy needed by the growing infant. These fats also play an important role in metabolizing several vitamins and minerals vital to optimizing a baby’s health.

However, if all of these fats are not well absorbed into the bloodstream, the amount of energy available for the child’s development is substantially reduced. The fatty acids in Betapol®, as numerous scientific studies have confirmed, are absorbed into the bloodstream much better than those in traditional formulas, providing infants with more of the energy that is so essential to their health and growth.
