What Are These Ingredients?
1. Better ingredients

– The main protein source in most European formulas is lactose (composed of whey and casein). – Cow’s lactose has less whey than breast milk, so add whey to make it more like breast milk. 2. carbohydrates

– As a general rule, the only carbohydrate you need is lactose. Many European formulas follow this rule!

– If you want other carbs, avoid bad carbs like corn syrup solids, glucose syrup solids, sucrose, sugar, brown rice syrup

3. Fat

– Usually vegetable oils (palm, coconut, sunflower)

– Many American formulas have soy hidden in this ingredient list – don’t worry if it looks like “soy oil”.

The quality of Demeter distinguishes European recipes. It is organic ++, which means the farm is completely organic and the environment is well managed. For more information, watch the short video below.

Unlike the formulas on the American shelves, almost all European formulas have no extra soy added to the formula!
Why is that important? Because higher levels of aluminum in soy milk can lead to weaker bones in babies born prematurely, weighing less than 1.8kg, or with reduced kidney function. Soy milk may not be a good choice for children who are intolerant or allergic to cow’s milk proteins.

Synthetic nutrients include lutein, lycopene, taurine, L-carnitine, and L-methionine. Many of these substances are themselves toxic or have been treated with toxic solvents.

Although these are banned in Europe, they are still commonly found in many American prescriptions.

Probiotics

– Dietary supplements or fortified foods containing live microorganisms.
– “Friendly” bacteria can change the balance of bacteria in your body.
– Ex: HiPP food contains his Lactobacillus fermentum hereditum

Prebiotics

– Dietary supplements or foods containing ingredients that cannot be digested normally

– Stimulates the growth of friendly bacteria that feed on bacteria.
・Example: Compounds such as oligosaccharides contained in human breast milk and formula

Why are they good
– In his 2010 summary report in the journal Pediatrics, randomized clinical trials found probiotics to be fairly effective in supporting gastrointestinal health in healthy children. – Probiotics can help relieve gastrointestinal problems and colic. For example, in a 2014 Italian study from JAMA Pediatrics, a baby given a probiotic supplement from birth urinated, vomits and colic more at her 3 months than a baby given a placebo. was reported to be low.
– Pediatric reports show that prebiotics may support skin health in healthy babies.
