• Skim Milk Powder: It offers a rich source of protein, essential for muscle development and calcium, which is vital for strong bones and teeth.
   
• Whey Protein Concentrate: Whey protein is a high-quality protein derived from milk. It is easily digestible and provides essential amino acids needed for growth and tissue repair.
   
• Lactose: A natural sugar found in milk that provides a source of energy and helps in the absorption of calcium and other minerals.
   
• Vitamin Blend (Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Vitamin B1 (Thiamin), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin), Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin): Vitamins provide a range of essential nutrients for infant health. Vitamin A supports vision and immune function, while Vitamin C enhances iron absorption and promotes healthy skin. Vitamin D helps calcium and phosphorus absorption for bone growth. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant, and Vitamin K supports blood clotting and bone health. The B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12) are crucial for energy production and red blood cell formation. Additional vitamins like Niacin, Pantothenic Acid and Biotin contribute to metabolism and skin health. This blend ensures comprehensive nutritional support for optimal development.

Iron is vital for cognitive development and stopping anaemia, while Zinc plays a key role in immune function and growth. Iodine supports thyroid function and development, and Calcium is crucial for bone and teeth health. Phosphorus works with calcium to build strong bones, and Magnesium supports muscle function and metabolism. Manganese helps in bone formation and metabolism, while Copper assists in iron absorption and cardiovascular health. Selenium acts as an antioxidant. 
   
• Taurine: An amino acid that supports brain and eye development and plays a role in the formation of bile salts, which are important for digestion.
   
• Choline: A vital nutrient for brain development, liver function and cell membrane integrity. It supports cognitive function and brain health.
   
• Nucleotides: These compounds are important for the development and function of the immune system and support gastrointestinal health by helping in cell replication and repair.
