Lutein
Protects eye health As a carotenoid, lutein plays an important role in supporting infant vision and eye health. Lutein is one of the scarce carotenoids found within human eye tissue. The protection it provides infants is all encompassing via two main pathways....
β-Carotene
Strengthens the immune system β-Carotene (Beta Carotene) contains strong antioxidant properties thus, preventing cells from oxidative damage which is the source of several diseases in humans. Diets rich in beta carotene decrease the rates of heart diseases and cancer....
Choline / Inositol
Enhances brain development Both inositol and choline are vitamins which work hand in hand to benefit and enhance infant brain development. Choline is a B vitamin-like molecule evident in the human body. Naturally, our bodies will produce brain chemicals to...
Taurine
Fat absorption and promotes eye health Research advises that Taurine is essential amid infants during periods of rapid development as it is the most abundant free amino acid found in human breast milk. Important for infants, this amino acid promotes fat absorption and...
Lactoferrin
Reduces gut infections Lactoferrin is also evident in human breast milk being one of the more abundant whey proteins. Research has shown lactoferrin to have a range of biological functions including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant...
Nucleotides
Support immunity and a healthy digestive system Like most substances prevalent in infant formula, nucleotides are also evident in human breast milk. Nucleotides are the building blocks for DNA and RNA as they are vital in almost all biological processes. Nucleotides...
Vitamins and Minerals
Healthy immune system Each with its own natural function, there are 13 vitamins and 16 or more minerals known to be cardinal to the human body. In order to ensure that excellent growth and development is obtained, an optimal vitamin and mineral status must be...
FOS / GOS
Reduces intestinal & respiratory infections Oligosaccharides found in human milk play a vital role in developing and strengthening an infant's immune system. Oligosaccharides resist digestion in the digestive tract and are instead fermented in the large intestine...
Phospholipids
Healthy Brain Functions Phospholipids are an essential fatty acid as it is a complex source of omega-3 for brain tissue. Omega-3 phospholipids affect the structure and functioning of brain cell signaling as well as cell membranes. Studies have shown that the dietary...
Linoleic acid
Enhances Growth Once known as Vitamin F, Linoleic acid is a fatty acid which is essential for nutrition. Rich in omega-6, this acid forms the lipid component of all cell membranes in our body. Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid acquired from plants. Omega-3...
ARA / DHA
Developmental Visual and Brain Growth When combined, DHA and ARA play a very important role for the growing infant. This includes optimal development of the nervous system, especially the brain and eyes. DHA and ARA are rapidly accumulated in the nervous tissue of...
L-Carnitine
Weight Gain Human bodies naturally produce L-Carnitine from amino acids. It is a source of energy as it increases the use of fatty acids within your body. Once transported into the mitochondria, the fatty acids are burned, releasing energy allowing our bodies to...
Whey Protein
Protein is an essential macronutrient for the human body (along with healthy fats and carbohydrates). Protein is made up of little building blocks called amino acids. There are 20 amino acids that are needed for our bodies to function - of these 20, we can make...
