Proteins are key for a baby's growth and are the building blocks of their muscles, tissues, and organs.
Our formula includes whey and casein, the same proteins found in breast milk and similar to the 60:40 mix for a baby's needs.
It's also easy on babies' bellies. It forms smaller, softer curds when digested, compared to cow milk-based formula, making it easier for babies to digest.¹⁻²
Goat milk oligosaccharides, a special type of complex carbohydrate and prebiotic fiber, may help with tummy issues³⁻⁵
With goat milk having higher levels of these naturally-occurring oligosaccharides than cow milk, they also more closely resemble breast milk.⁶ Goat milk has five times more oligosaccharides than cow milk!⁷ Some of these oligosaccharides are exactly the same as in breast milk, helping to make our formula gentle for babies.
Whey is the portion of milk protein that remains liquid in the gut. Casein is the portion of milk protein that forms the curd during digestion.
That's why we add goat whey concentrate to Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula. Doing this helps to adapt the whey to casein ratio of our product to 60:40, the ratio similarly found in breast milk, to support easier digestion.⁸⁻⁹
Beta-palmitate is a more absorbable form of palmitic acid, a major fatty acid found in breast milk. While it doesn't naturally occur in goat milk, we realized that adding it to Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula could greatly benefit babies.
Beta-palmitate may lead to improved calcium absorption, fat absorption, and stool consistency - and these results are associated with improved bone health and gut health as well as reduced crying and improved sleep.¹⁰⁻¹²
Our formula includes high levels (>40%) of beta-palmitate, and we're proud to say that we're the only infant formula in the US that includes this premium ingredient.
Supported by the infant formula experts
The use of goat milk-based infant formula is supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as an acceptable source of nutrition for all infants in their first year of life.¹³
Trust our experience
Kabrita is powered by Ausnutria, a Dutch company with over 75 years of infant formula
experience, and the first choice in goat milk infant formula worldwide.
Contains all the important ingredients babies need:
- 25 vitamins and minerals, including folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12
- DHA and ARA, which are healthy fats necessary for developing brains and vision¹⁴⁻¹⁷
- Prebiotic GOS, which acts as good bacteria in the intestine, improves stool consistency, helps to prevent hard stools and constipation¹⁸⁻²¹
Scientifically and clinically proven to safely support growth for babies in a double-blind, randomized controlled trial.²²
Made in the Netherlands and adheres to strict European standards that limit the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, and pesticides. That means no GMO ingredients, corn syrup or glyphosate.
Made with 100% goat milk from the Netherlands, the dairy center of the world. All milk is supplied from over 100 Dutch family-run goat farms that comply with the Dutch Goat Dairy Organization animal welfare and food safety assurance program.
Already used and trusted by parents around the globe. In fact, 1.5 million babies worldwide are fed with Kabrita daily!
The first and only goat milk-based infant formula in the US to meet all FDA requirements. Other goat milk-based infant formulas are authorized under
short-term emergency use only.
