Expert Insight: What makes Aptamil different?

Aptamil has clinically researched ingredients in infant nutrition, such as GOS/FOS. They enhance digestive comfort and soften the stools. These milks also have lipids and DHA to mimic the fat profile of breast milk. They improve nutrient absorption and support healthy development.

Aptamil’s specialist formulas improve tolerance and comfort in infants with reflux, excessive crying, constipation or suspected protein sensitivities. These formulations are endorsed by doctors and healthcare professionals as first-line non-prescription interventions.

A database published by NCBI reported that milk substitutes, although inferior to human milk, promote nutritional balance, growth & development in children. They must be used as a part of a mixed diet and not as a replacement.
