3.6.4. Nutrient Intake
Between 15 and 20% of the infants reportedly received at least once over the study visits something other than the assigned formula. The cumulative duration of other diets was low across the 12-month intervention period and varied from 7 to 20 days. Energy intake increased in all three groups over time, from 761 (control group), 695 (investigational group), and 524 (breastfed group) kcal/day at 6 months to 1141 (control group), 1212 (investigational group), and 1196 (breastfed group) kcal/day at 24 months. The positive correlations between nutrient intake levels for the investigated blend nutrients from food intake outside of the intervention products with myelin were consistent with the causal observations for the blend impact (
