FAQ
How is this different from regular milk?
This is a complete nutritional meal engineered specifically for infants. It has a precise balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals that cow's milk lacks, and it's easier for a baby's immature kidneys to process.
Can I use this powder in cooking for older kids or adults?
While it's not designed for that purpose, some people use it in baking or smoothies for a protein and nutrient boost. However, it's formulated for infant digestion and is a costly ingredient for general cooking.
Why is the sugar content listed as 57g per 100g?
The majority of this 'sugar' is naturally occurring lactose, the primary carbohydrate in milk and breast milk, which provides essential energy. It is not added sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup.
