Calcium is an important mineral needed for the growth of bones and teeth. It supports many other functions in the body, including blood clotting, heart health, and muscle contraction.

Vitamin B5 plays an important role in the maintenance and repair of all cells and tissues. It helps break down carbohydrates, fats, and protein. It also supports adrenal health, antibody formation and the synthesis of fatty acids.

Choline is an important compound required for many functions, including nerve transmission, cholesterol metabolism, and immune system function.

Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production, promotes concentration and memory, and supports healthy nerve function. It is also important for the synthesis and regulation of DNA.

Copper is essential to the utilization of iron. It supports optimal thyroid function, red blood cells, and helps to maintain healthy bone and connective tissue.

DHA may support the normal development of toddler’s brain, eye and nervous system. Naturally present in human milk, this fatty acid is essential for visual and cognitive development. To learn more about DHA in our formula, please visit our Behind the Label: DHA and ARA blog.

This is a source of calcium and phosphorus. Calcium is necessary for the growth of bones and teeth. It also supports blood clotting, heart health, and muscle contraction. Phosphorus is needed for strong bones and teeth and is also important for cell growth, hormone secretion, kidney function, and nerve and muscle activity.

Hexane is used to extract many oils, including DHA. While it is used in the initial extraction process, the solvent evaporates in the subsequent refining process, which is safe and environmentally friendly. The FDA imposes a residue limit of less than 0.3 parts per million and upon testing no detectable residue of hexane remains in the finished DHA oil ingredient.

Iron is necessary for the formation of blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also responsible for energy metabolism. Iron stores begin to drop in most babies between 6-12 months of age.

Folic acid ensures that cells develop normally. It is required to produce healthy red blood cells and works synergistically with Vitamin B12. It is crucial for DNA production and repair, especially during growth stages. Folic acid supports the synthesis of amino acids and is important for healthy brain function. Folic acid is the approved form of this vitamin for use in formula. For more information on Folic Acid, please visit our Behind the Label: Folic Acid blog.

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are prebiotics. They act as non-digestible dietary fiber and may support gut health.

Goat whey protein concentrate is a high-quality source of protein. Protein is essential for organ and muscle function, and every tissue in the body. Proteins aid in growth and development, immune function, enzymatic function, hormonal function, etc.

We add goat whey concentrate to our formula to adapt the whey to casein ratio of our product, to model that found in breast milk.

Inositol is a naturally occurring compound that incorporates into the cell membranes and helps exert biological processes, including cell-to-cell communication. It is important for muscle, brain and nerve function.

Lactose is the main carbohydrate source of goat milk. It is molecularly identical in all milk, including human milk. Carbohydrates are critical for optimal growth and development as they provide energy to all the cells of the body, especially those in the developing brain. You can learn more about lactose and lactose intolerance in these two blogs: Behind the Label: Lactose, and Symptoms of Cow Milk Sensitivity.

Manganese is needed for a range of enzymatic reactions in the body. It supports the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and is needed for bone and connective tissue growth.

ARA is an essential fatty acid which may support your little one’s normal brain development. Naturally present in human milk, it also serves to increase metabolism. For more information, please visit our Behind the Label: DHA and ARA blog.

A source of both calcium and phosphorus. Calcium is important for the growth of bones and teeth. It supports many other functions in the body, including blood clotting, heart health, and muscle contraction. Phosphorus is needed for strong bones and teeth as well, but it is also important for cell growth, hormone secretions, kidney function, and nerve and muscle activity in the body. This ingredient is also added because it helps to prevent the formation of lumps in the powdered formula, making it easy to mix.

Fats are crucial for normal growth and development. Plant-based oils contain a range of fatty acids. As no single plant-based oil has a comparable fatty acid profile to that of breast milk, formula will contain an oil blend.

Vitamin B6 is essential for normal growth in the body. It is needed for healthy red blood cell production and the absorption of vitamin B12. B6 is necessary for the production of stomach acid, which is critical for the optimal digestion of protein.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant necessary for maintaining a healthy immune system, forming red blood cells and skin regeneration. It is also important for iron absorption.

Vitamin D3 is essential for regulating calcification and mineralization of the healthy bones – it also helps to increase the absorption of both calcium and phosphorus in the digestive tract. It has other important functions in the body including supporting the immune system and normal growth and development.
