Inmil Stage 1 Birth To 6 Month Powder 400gm

Inmil Stage 1 Birth To 6 Month Powder 400gm is used for providing essential nutrients that support an infant's growth and development. It contains a balanced mix of proteins, vitamins, and minerals, designed to help maintain healthy growth during the early stages of life. The formula includes DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ARA (arachidonic acid), which are known to support brain and vision development. Inmil also contains whey-based proteins, which can support digestion, making it easier for infants to absorb the nutrients they need. 

• Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA): DHA is a crucial omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain development and may assist in maintaining healthy vision. It is often included in infant formulas to encourage cognitive growth. DHA is considered essential for optimal neurological function during the early stages of life. This ingredient may contribute to overall brain health. It supports the development of the nervous system during infancy.
   
• Arachidonic Acid (ARA): ARA is an omega-6 fatty acid that plays a role in the development of the brain and eyes. It is important for cell growth and function, helping to promote healthy tissue development. ARA is included to support cognitive function and visual development. This ingredient works alongside DHA to maintain optimal growth during the early stages of life. It encourages healthy brain and eye development.
   
• Lactose: Lactose is a natural sugar found in milk that provides energy to infants. It supports the development of healthy digestive function by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Lactose is an essential carbohydrate that helps maintain energy levels for growth and development. This ingredient may assist in supporting proper digestion and nutrient absorption. It encourages a balanced, functional digestive system in infants.
   
• Whey Solids: Whey solids are a rich source of protein that supports physical growth. They may assist in maintaining muscle development and overall health during infancy. As a high-quality protein, whey solids encourage healthy body tissue development. It helps to build strong muscles and maintain energy levels. This ingredient supports the body’s nutritional needs in the early stages of life.
   
• Vitamins (Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Folic Acid): These vitamins are essential for maintaining the health and development of an infant. They support various bodily functions such as energy production, immune system strength, and bone health. These vitamins also play a key role in cellular repair, growth, and metabolic processes, helping ensure optimal performance and recovery during the early stages of life. The vitamins in this blend help ensure essential nutrient intake, assisting the development of a strong foundation for growth.
   
• Minerals Blend (Calcium, Phosphorous, Magnesium, Iron, Zinc, Potassium, Iodine, Copper, Selenium, Chromium): This blend of essential minerals supports various physiological functions such as bone strength, muscle function, and energy metabolism. These minerals are crucial for maintaining healthy bones, promoting proper immune function, and supporting tissue repair. They help maintain a healthy circulatory system and help in the transport of oxygen. The minerals also contribute to healthy skin, hair, and nails, ensuring overall growth and well-being in early stages.
   
• Other Ingredients: Partially Skimmed Milk, Demineralized Whey, Edible Vegetable Oils (Palm Olein Oil, Sunflower Oil), Minerals (Sodium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Oxide, Zinc Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Copper Sulfate, Manganese Sulfate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Selenite, Sodium Fluoride), Emulsifier (Lecithins), Nucleotide Premix (Cytidine 5-Monophosphate, Guanosine 5-Monophosphate, Adenosine 5-Monophosphate, Uridine 5-Monophosphate), Taurine, L-Carnitine, Beta Carotene.

• Supports Brain Development: Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that contributes to early cognitive function. It plays a key role in neural development and may assist in supporting memory and learning abilities. DHA works alongside Arachidonic Acid (ARA) to encourage overall brain function in infants. Regular intake of DHA may help maintain optimal brain health and mental performance. This nutrient is essential for the growth of brain cells during early development.
   
• Encourages Eye Health: Arachidonic Acid (ARA) is a vital omega-6 fatty acid that contributes to healthy vision. It plays a role in supporting the development of the retina and may assist in maintaining optimal eye function. ARA and DHA together encourage the visual processing abilities necessary for recognising objects and depth perception. The presence of these fatty acids helps promote clear vision in the early stages of life. They contribute to the structural integrity of the eye during infancy.
   
• Helps in Muscle Growth: Whey solids are a rich source of high-quality protein that assists in muscle development. These proteins encourage the formation of lean muscle mass, supporting overall physical growth in infants. Whey solids contribute to strength-building by providing essential amino acids needed for tissue repair. The protein content in whey solids helps maintain muscle function and supports an active lifestyle. Proper protein intake is necessary for developing strong muscles during infancy.
   
• Assists Digestive Health: Lactose is a natural carbohydrate that contributes to healthy digestion and gut function. It encourages the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting the breakdown and absorption of nutrients. Lactose plays a role in maintaining a balanced digestive system, which may help reduce discomfort from indigestion. The presence of lactose in the diet assists in proper nutrient utilisation and energy production. This carbohydrate supports the digestive process while ensuring optimal absorption of key nutrients.
   
• Maintains Bone Strength: The minerals blend, including Calcium and phosphorus, plays a crucial role in bone development. These minerals encourage strong and healthy bones by assisting in proper bone density formation. They contribute to the structural integrity of bones, ensuring long-term strength and stability. Regular intake of these essential minerals helps maintain the foundation for healthy skeletal growth. Proper mineral intake is necessary to support bone strength during the early years.
