Aptamil Stage 2 Follow Up Powder 400 GM

Aptamil Stage 2 Follow up Powder 400 GM  is used for providing essential nutrition to support growth and development. This premium formula is crafted with a unique blend of key ingredients, including DHA, ARA, nucleotides, iron, and folic acid, to ensure your little one receives a complete and balanced diet during this critical stage of development. 

• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid): DHA is a vital omega-3 fatty acid that plays an essential role in the development of the brain and eyes in infants. Adequate DHA intake supports cognitive function, problem-solving skills, and learning abilities, while also contributing to the development of the retina, supporting visual acuity. Sourced from Crypthecodinium cohnii oil, the DHA in Aptamil Gold helps ensure optimal neurological development.
   
• ARA (Arachidonic Acid): ARA, an omega-6 fatty acid derived from Mortierella alpina oil, works in tandem with DHA to promote healthy development. It supports immune function, helping infants better fight off infections and illnesses. Additionally, ARA contributes to the healthy development of muscles and tissues, playing a key role in a baby’s overall growth and physical health.
   
• Minerals (Sodium, Potassium chloride, Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, Selenium, Molybdenum): These minerals are essential for maintaining fluid balance, bone health, nerve function, and metabolic processes. They help support overall health by contributing to various physiological functions and enhancing nutrient absorption.
   
• Vitamins (Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, K, D2, Niacin, Pantothenic acid, Biotin, Folic acid and Choline): This combination helps support overall health by assisting in vision, immune function, bone strength, energy production, and cellular repair. Each vitamin plays a crucial role in maintaining bodily functions and promoting optimal wellness.

The formula offers complete nutrition, ensuring that babies receive everything they need to grow at a healthy rate, especially as they transition from breastfeeding or infant formula to more solid foods.
   
• Manages Immune Function: The inclusion of nucleotides and essential vitamins such as Vitamins C, A, and E helps support the baby’s immune system. Nucleotides are important for boosting immune response, while vitamins help protect the body against infections and illnesses. This is vital for babies as their immune systems are still developing and require extra support to fend off ailments.
   
• For Digestive Health: The formula is designed with demineralised whey and partially skimmed milk, which provide easily digestible proteins. These ingredients help support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption, which is especially important as the baby’s digestive system continues to develop. Additionally, nucleotides support gut health by promoting cell repair and growth in the gastrointestinal tract.
   
• Regulates Energy Levels: Canola oil, high oleic sunflower oil, and corn oil present in the formula provide essential fatty acids and energy for the baby’s growing body. These fats are necessary for energy production and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, ensuring that the baby remains active and energetic throughout the day.
   
• May Help Promote Strong Bones and Teeth: The inclusion of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium supports the healthy development of strong bones and teeth. Adequate calcium intake is crucial during the first few years of life as this is the period when the skeleton is growing rapidly.
   
• Supports Healthy Vision: The formula includes Vitamin A and DHA, both of which are vital for the development of healthy eyes and vision. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision, while DHA contributes to the development of the retina, ensuring clear and sharp vision.
   
• Maintains Healthy Blood and Tissues: The iron and folic acid in Aptamil Gold Stage 3 support the production of red blood cells, which are vital for transporting oxygen throughout the body. This helps manage anaemia and ensures that the baby’s tissues and organs receive sufficient oxygen to function properly.
   
• Supports Metabolism and Energy Production: The combination of B vitamins, biotin, and magnesium in the formula helps in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, helping convert food into energy efficiently. This supports the baby’s overall energy needs, ensuring that they stay active and engaged throughout the day.
