What it is:
Our grass-fed goats live on over 100 family-run farms in the Netherlands and supply the milk for our formula. Goat milk is made up of proteins called whey and casein, lactose, and some other very complex carbohydrates called oligosaccharides, and important fatty acids.
What it does:
Goat milk more closely resembles breast milk and naturally contains a higher level of A2 ß-casein proteins that are different from the A1 ß-casein proteins in cow milk. A higher proportion of A2 proteins may provide comfort and prevent tummy troubles.¹⁻² The naturally occurring oligosaccharides in goat milk help support a healthy gut and immune system.³⁻⁴
What it is:
Lactose is a milk sugar naturally occurring in all milks (including breast milk) and is the main carbohydrate source of goat milk. It is molecularly identical in all milk, including breast milk.
What it does:
Additional lactose is added to our formula to resemble the levels in breast milk. Lactose is critical for optimal growth and development because it provides energy to all the cells of the body, especially those in the developing brain. Lactose also contributes to the absorption of calcium, helps regulate gut microbiota, and supports immune function.
What it is:
Our premium plant-based fat blend is designed to specifically match the fatty acid profile of breast milk, including beta-palmitate.⁵ The fatty acids in beta-palmitate acid are arranged as oleic-palmitic-oleic (OPO) to better match breast milk, as opposed to palmitic-oleic-palmitic (POP),⁵⁻⁶ like in other formulas.
What it does:
The unique structure of beta-palmitate helps to promote softer stools and improved consistency, and may increase calcium and fat absorption.⁵ This is the reason babies feel more comfortable, may cry less, and report improved sleep,⁷⁻⁸ so parents can sleep better too.
What it is:
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid) are two important fatty acids found in breast milk that are necessary for developing brains and vision.⁹⁻¹¹ We use plant-based sources for both our DHA and ARA.
What it does:
DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is crucial for cognitive, visual, and neurological development for children. ARA is an omega-6 fatty acid that supports normal cognitive development, as well as the repair and growth of muscle tissue. Both are fundamental components of the developing nervous system.
What it is:
Whey is a type of protein naturally found in milk. Premium, non-GMO goat whey protein is added to our formula to adapt the ratio of whey to casein (60:40) to more closely resemble breast milk.
What is does:
Goat whey protein concentrate is high-quality protein that supports a wide range of body functions, including structural support, healthy growth and development, and a robust immune system.
What it is:
Prebiotics are non-digestible dietary fibers. When broken down, they provide fuel or 'food' for the good bacteria in the gut. Our formula contains natural oligosaccharides and added galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) prebiotics.¹²⁻¹⁴
What it does:
GOS has been demonstrated in clinical studies to improve gut function and act as good bacteria in the intestine, supporting immune functions. Prebiotics help to improve stool consistency by preventing hard stools and constipation.¹⁵⁻¹⁸
What it is:
Iron is an essential mineral that is found in every cell in the body, and it's necessary for growth and development.
What it does:
Iron is necessary for the formation of blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also responsible for energy metabolism. Iron begins to drop in most babies between 6-12 months of age.
