10 years in the making,
10 shared ingredients with breastmilk*.*
Strong foundations matter. After 10 years of thorough research and development, we’ve created our patented blend of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. It’s closest to breastmilk and built to give babies the strong foundation they need to grow.
*structure and levels differ from those in breastmilk
Alpha-lactalbumin is the predominant whey protein in human milk, rich in essential amino acids and easily digested. It supports growth, neurodevelopment, and nutrient absorption while promoting gastrointestinal tolerance.
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with antimicrobial and immunomodulatory properties. It limits pathogenic bacterial growth, supports beneficial gut flora, and contributes to early immune maturation.
Beta-Palmitate (sn-2 palmitic acid) mirrors the fat structure of human milk, improving fat and calcium absorption. Clinical studies have shown beta-palmitate helps support stool consistency, enhanced mineral retention, and improved digestive comfort.
Lutein is a carotenoid that concentrates in the retina and neural tissue, acting as an antioxidant and blue-light filter. It supports visual development and protects against oxidative stress during early eye maturation.
Hexane-Free DHA is an omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid critical for neural and retinal membrane development. Adequate DHA supports visual acuity and cognitive outcomes, mirroring concentrations found in human milk. Supplementation ensures sufficient n-3 LCPUFA intake during rapid neurodevelopment.
ARA is an omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that complements DHA in neural membrane formation and immune signaling. Adequate ARA supports growth, neurodevelopment, and immune function, maintaining physiologic DHA:ARA balance similar to human milk.
Nucleotides are semi-essential during infancy, supporting rapid cellular growth, intestinal development, and immunity. Dietary inclusion aids tissue repair and enhances antibody production.
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid vital for retinal, cardiac, and hepatic development. It supports bile acid conjugation and osmoregulation, ensuring adequate levels in infants with limited endogenous synthesis.
L-Carnitine facilitates mitochondrial transport and oxidation of long-chain fatty acids, supporting efficient energy metabolism. Supplementation aids growth, thermogenesis, and muscular function in infants with immature synthesis capacity.
Beta-Carotene serves as a source of provitamin A, supporting epithelial integrity, immune competence, and visual function. It also provides antioxidant protection for developing tissues.
