Patent ID: 8053471

Claim:
A nutritional composition comprising a carbohydrate, a lipid, and a protein, wherein: the carbohydrate provides 40 to 75% of the total calories, the lipid provides 20 to 50% of the total calories and the protein provides 5 to 12.5% of the total calories; the lipid comprises a vegetable lipid source, a n-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3)containing lipid source, a n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction, and a n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction; the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction comprises: (a) at least 0.1 wt % docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) based on total weight of the lipid, at least 0.01 wt % DPAn-3 based on total weight of the lipid, and at least 0.01 wt % eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) based on total weight of the lipid, wherein the sum of DHA, DPAn-3 and EPA is below 1 wt. % of total lipid; and (b) between 1.9 and 3 wt. % alpha linoleic acid (ALA) based on total weight of the lipid; the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction comprises: (a) between 0.2 and 1 wt. % arachidonic acid (AA) based on total weight of the lipid; and (b) between 10 and 15 wt. % linoleic acid (LA) based on total weight of the lipid; the weight ratio of EPA/DHA is between 0.05 and 1; the weight ratio of (DPAn-3 +EPA)/DHA is between 0.25 and 1; the weight ratio of DPAn-3/EPA is between 0.25 and 5; the weight ratio of DHA/DPAn-3 is between 2 and 25; the weight ratio of ALA/DHA is between 5 and 25; and the weight ratio of LA/ALA is between 5 and 10.
