2 min read

In March 2017, Wyeth Nutrition, in collaboration with the Nestlé Research Center (NRC) in Lausanne, began a nutritional intervention clinical trial in healthy babies to study the effect of myelin-relevant nutrients on cognitive development in the first 24 months of life. The information generated will help better understand how nutrition impacts myelination, brain and cognitive development.

Clinical trial title: The Effect of Myelin-Relevant Nutrients in Infant Formula on Brain Myelination and Cognitive Development

Information on the clinical trial can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov, a database of publicly and privately supported human clinical studies, which is provided as a service by the U.S. National Institutes of Health.
