Physical growth & development
Contains a lower protein quantity of 1.28 g/100 ml. Feeding a lower protein formula^ during infancy may encourage appropriate weight gain closer to breast fed infants during early childhood development up to 6 years1-3

Brain development
Contains a DHA content (min. 0.32%) that closely aligns with expert recommendations, and the average DHA content of mature breast milk (0.32% ± 0.22%)4,5
Did you know adequate amounts of DHA should be accumulated in the
first 2 years of life to support the developing brain?19,22

Digestion
Contains added sn-2 palmitate^ which is a fat structure naturally found in breast milk.6,7 Sn-2 palmitate enriched formula may result in softer stools.8,9
Also contains easy to digest whey-dominant, alpha-lactalbumin enriched, high-quality whole (intact) protein at a level closer to mature breast milk10,12
^0.33 g/100 mL
Did you know breast milk naturally contains high quality whole intact proteins,
and alpha-lactalbumin is the predominant whey protein in breast milk?10,11,23,24

Immunity
Contains nucleotides, zinc and alpha lactalbumin naturally found in mature breast milk, which may help support immunity3,10,13-18
Did you know nucleotides are thought to enhance immune function and play a role
in the growth and differentiation of the gastrointestinal tract,20 and to encourage
the growth of beneficial microbes in the gut?14
