The present disclosure generally provides pediatric nutritional compositions comprising a protein source comprising an intact milk protein and a partially hydrolyzed milk protein, wherein about 5% to about 25% of total nitrogen content of the composition is non-protein nitrogen. The pediatric nutritional compositions described herein also comprise a fat source and a carbohydrate source. The partially hydrolyzed protein source, in certain embodiments, provides peptides that have similar structure and function to the peptides found in human milk.

An agent for improving brain function and agent for preventing or treating cognitive impairment, which comprises: 5 to 50 parts by weight of a protein; 5 to 80 parts by weight of a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride as a lipid; and 1 to 50 parts by weight of a carbohydrate, per 100 parts by weight.

There is provided a method comprising orally administering a composition before and/or during exercise. The composition contains a casein hydrolysate containing a free amino acid and a peptide, or a mixture of the free amino acid and the peptide. The casein hydrolysate is produced by hydrolyzing an animal milk casein, and has an average chain length of 2.1 or less in terms of the number of amino acid residues. There is further provided an oral composition for use in the method. The oral composition contains, as an active ingredient, a casein hydrolysate containing a free amino acid and a peptide, or a mixture of the free amino acid and the peptide. The casein hydrolysate is produced by hydrolyzing an animal milk casein, and has an average chain length of 2.1 or less in terms of the number of amino acid residues. There is still further provided the use of the oral composition for inhibiting increase in heart rate during exercise.
