Abstract: Combined Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are mainly added to infant formula to promote the prevalence of a microbiota composition similar to that resulting from breast-fed infants. Their efficacy evaluated in pediatric population had methodological limitations and their mechanisms are still under debate. According to our knowledge they are not experimental studies during the high growth period in order to determine the potential bone health benefits of ...

Their efficacy evaluated in pediatric population had methodological limitations and their mechanisms are still under debate. According to our knowledge they are not experimental studies during the high growth period in order to determine the potential bone health benefits of the consumption of GOS/FOS containing infant formula.
