DUARTE, Calif., Feb. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimizing nutrition for premature infants remains an important focus in neonatal care. More than 20 peer-reviewed studies of 5,000+ preterm infants demonstrated that, compared to bovine milk-based fortifiers (BMBF), Prolacta Bioscience's human milk-based fortifiers (HMBF) improve growth and development1-7 and provide clinically significant reductions in comorbidities.1,2,8-20 The health benefits from the use of HMBF have also shown significant annual cost savings for hospitals.8 More than 100,000 critically ill and preterm infants have received Prolacta's human milk-based nutritional products.21

Key Points: 
  • While the RCTs were intended to provide a head-to-head comparison between fortifier products, the feeding protocols fundamentally differed.
  • HMBF recommendations for best outcomes regarding the day fortification should begin and the speed at which feeds are advanced were not followed in either study.
  • Given these known risks, randomizing extremely premature infants to day-one fortification with BMBF would unjustly endanger this vulnerable patient population.
  • Extensive real-world data affirm EHMD adoption enables critical health improvements for premature infants and major cost reductions for hospitals.
