Main Article Content
Abstract
The Study aimed to evaluate the effects of milk formula enriched with probiotic and prebiotic (Synbiotic) on nutritional and micronutrient status of children from 18 to 36 months old. Methods: In a randomized, double blind, controlled trial, children were randomized to receive milk formula with (Synbiotic group) or without Synbiotic (Control group) for 5 months (400ml/day x 5 days/week). Length, weight, Z-scores and blood samples were collected at baseline and end of intervention for assessment of nutritional, anemia, vitamin A, and zinc status. Results: After 5 months, the Synbiotic group showed a higher value in weight and length gain (+0.39 kg và 1.04cm, p<0.01) compared to control group. The Hb, Zinc and Retinol levels were improved in both groups vs. baseline, but no significant difference (p>0.05) between synbiotic and control group.
