Aptamil Stage 1 Infant Powder 400 GM

Aptamil Stage 1 Infant Powder 400 GM is used for managing infants' overall health and development. It is scientifically formulated for infants from birth to six months. It contains prebiotic fibres and Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMO) that may help support digestive health and immunity. Enriched with DHA and ARA, this formula may promote brain development and visual acuity. Aptamil Stage 1 ensures optimal growth by providing a blend of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The whey-casein ratio of 60:40 mimics breast milk, making it gentle on your baby’s digestive system. This vegetarian formula also includes nutrients like choline, taurine, and nucleotides. This helps provide infants with the nourishment needed for a healthy start to life.

• Partially Skimmed Milk and Whey Solids: These provide high-quality protein essential for tissue growth and repair. They also help develop strong muscles and bones while being easily digestible for infants.
   
• Galacto-Oligosaccharides (GOS) and Fructooligosaccharides (FOS): Prebiotic fibres help promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting digestive health and enhancing nutrient absorption.
   
• DHA and ARA: These omega-3 omega-6 fatty acids help support brain and visual development, contributing to cognitive function and vision.
   
• Lactose: This is a natural carbohydrate that provides infants with energy. Lactose also supports calcium absorption, which is essential for healthy bones and teeth.
   
• Beta-carotene: This is a precursor to Vitamin A; it helps manage vision development and supports the immune system with its antioxidant properties.
   
• Taurine and L-Carnitine: These amino acids help support heart health, muscle function, and energy metabolism in growing infants.
   
• Vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin): Enriched with a range of essential vitamins including A, B-complex (B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, and Biotin), C, D, E, and K. These vitamins support various aspects of infant development. Vitamin A helps in healthy vision and immune system function, while B-complex vitamins contribute to energy metabolism and brain development. Vitamin C supports collagen formation and boosts immunity, and Vitamin D helps calcium absorption for strong bones and teeth. Vitamin E is an antioxidant to protect cells, and Vitamin K supports proper blood clotting and bone health. Together, these vitamins ensure holistic growth and development during early infancy.
   
• Minerals (Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium, Copper, Iodine): Vital minerals like Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Magnesium, Selenium, Copper, and Iodine are crucial for a baby’s growth. Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth, while Iron supports oxygen transport and brain development. Zinc plays a key role in immune function and cell repair, and Magnesium contributes to muscle and nerve function. Selenium acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from oxidative damage, Copper supports iron metabolism, and Iodine is necessary for thyroid function and cognitive development. These minerals work synergistically to provide the nutritional foundation for a baby’s physical and cognitive milestones.
   
• Other Ingredients: Edible Vegetable Oils (Canola and Corn Oil), an Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), and an Antioxidant (Mixed Tocopherols).

• Digestive Health: Aptamil Stage 1 Infant powder contains prebiotic fibres like GOS, FOS, and HMO, which might help manage digestive health by supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This may improve digestion and enhance nutrient absorption, contributing to overall gut comfort in infants.
   
• Immune Support: This formula powder is enriched with vitamins A, C, E, zinc, and selenium; it may help manage and strengthen immune functions. These nutrients might support the baby’s natural defence system, promoting overall health during early development.
   
• Brain Development: This powder contains DHA, ARA, and choline, which might help manage cognitive development and overall brain health. These components may support memory, learning, and neural growth during critical growth stages.
   
• Vision Support: This formula powder contains DHA and beta-carotene, which might help support eye health and visual acuity. These nutrients may contribute to healthy vision development in infants during their early years.
   
• Physical Growth: The formula’s balanced blend of proteins, calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin D might help manage bone and muscle development and support healthy physical growth during infancy.
   
• Energy: This formula powder contains lactose, a natural energy source that might help infants stay active. It ensures they have enough energy to meet their needs and developmental milestones.
   
• Balanced Nutrition: The formula offers a mix of essential vitamins, minerals, and nucleotides, which might help manage overall growth and development. It provides complete nutrition tailored for an infant's early needs.
