Adapted to infants with special needs
- Caloric content: 1 kcal/ml
- 10,4% of total caloric content (TCC) derived from proteins
- Caloric distribution: fat 45%, proteins 10.4%, carbohydrates 43,5%, fibre 1.1%
- Osmolarity: 335 mOsm/l
- Renal load: 177 mOsm/l
Optimal protection
- Enriched with Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), the most similar oligosaccharides to breast milk ones with the greatest ability to block the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria and offer the most favorable growth characteristics for lactobacilli and bifidobacteria.
- Incorporates the HMO 2’-fucosyllactose (2’-FL), a last generation prebiotic with antimicrobiological effect.
High tolerance and digestibility
- Optimized mixture of carbohydrates (49% lactose and 51% maltodextrin) suitable to maintain correct osmolarity.
- MCT content of 14%, which promote the absorption and digestion of fats.
- Balanced ratio of whey proteins/caseins (60/40) close to breast milk
Favours infant maturation
- ω-6 (AA) and ω-3 LC-PUFA (DHA): promote the proper development of the Central Nervous System and visual function and also the reduction of the consistency of stools and the absorption of other nutrients, in addition to having an immunomodulatory effect and reducing allergic diseases and respiratory infections common in childhood.
- Nucleotides: Contribute to maturation of the digestive system by promoting lipid metabolism and liver function1 and play an important immune role by promoting production of immunoglobulins and maturation of immune cells.
