| To promote own synthesis of DHA & ARA Amount & ratio according to latest recommendations | Essential fatty acids: ALA/LA = 6 |
| For gastrointestinal health – supporting gut motility & soft stools | Dietary fibre (prebiotics): GOS, FOS |
| As in human milk | mainly lactose, no sugar |
| As in human milk – for good growth & development, to support healthy gut functioning and immune system functions Amount according to latest recommendations | 5 types of nucleotides |

| According to latest recommendations For formation of haemoglobin & myoglobin, to support brain development – to prevent IDA To prevent oxidative stress, for good immune function & to support iodine metabolism for good brain function | All important vitamins, minerals & trace-elements Sufficient FeSufficient Se |
| Like in human milk – for good growth and development | Other nutrients: added taurine, choline, inositol, L-carnitine |
ALA & LA => DHA & ARA
ALA (α-linolenic acid) & LA (linoleic acid)
Essential fatty acids: precursors for DHA & ARA
ALA parent of Ω /omega-3/n-3 family
ALA precursor for DHA
LA parent of Ω /omega-6/n-6 family
LA precursor for ARA
Consensus recommendation LCPUFAs
Breastfeeding not possible:
EU regulation: addition DHA & ARA to IF optional – when added, ratio 1:1-1:2
LCPUFA supply should continue after first six months of life
Actilat: DHA/ARA = 1:1

Conditionally essential
Can be synthesised endogenously
But during rapid growth (infancy) normal production may not be enough
Contributing to overall growth & development
major components of DNA & RNA
Healthy gut functioning
supporting growth & maturation of GI-tract.
Modulating immune function
by changes in immune cell population, enhanced antibody responses
Quantity + casein/whey ratio:
adapted to each life stage
Can be synthesised endogenouslyBut during rapid growth (infancy) normal production may not be enough
1.3 g per 100 ml
