Benefits
- HMO (2'-Fucosyllactose) passes intact to the large intestine, where it selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports the development of a healthy infant gut microbiome, contributing to the formula's clinically proven immunity results
- DHA and ARA are omega-3 and omega-6 long-chain fatty acids that are physically incorporated into brain and retinal tissue during the first six months, supporting neurological and visual development during this critical growth window
- Lutein, a carotenoid present in breast milk, accumulates in the retina and brain tissue, where it supports eye health and neural function; infants cannot produce it themselves and depend on dietary intake
- Choline, taurine, and nucleotides complement the formula's brain and gut development profile, supporting neurotransmitter activity, fatty acid metabolism, and intestinal maturation
- Natural Vitamin E in the d-alpha form provides antioxidant protection for developing tissues with greater biological activity than the synthetic equivalent
- The palm olein oil free fat blend, using high oleic sunflower, soy, and coconut oils, supports more efficient fat and calcium absorption in infants
- Vitamins A, C, D, B6, and B12, alongside FOS prebiotics and HMO, contribute to the normal development and function of the infant immune system
- Formulated to serve as a complete sole source of nutrition from birth to 6 months, covering the full range of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and prebiotics a developing infant requires
