The invention relates to the use of a collagen hydrolyzate, the molecular weight of which is from 500 to 15,000, as a food supplement to improve the general well-being of infants, to reduce their anxiety and arousal, to limit flatulence, to limit their tendency to regurgitate, to accelerate mineralization of the skeleton, to accelerate the formation of hip joints and to accelerate the ossification of the femoral head. In addition, it is proposed to use such a hydrolyzate in combination with vitamin D as a dietary supplement to facilitate the treatment and / or prevention of rickets in infants.
