Human breast milk is still considered the ‘gold standard’ in infant nutrition. It contains the perfect combination of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals required for optimum growth and development. Most infant formulas have been able to successfully copy the nutritional components of breast milk, with one exception – the all-important milk fat. Betapol™ matches the composition and structure of breast milk fat better than any other product on the market today. Several scientific studies show that Betapol™ provides very similar nutritional and health benefits to infants – both premature and term – as breast milk fat. In comparison to traditional infant formulas, those containing Betapol™ have been proven, just like breast milk, to:
Increase the amount of energy-giving fats that the infant absorbs
Boost the amount of bone-building calcium that the infant absorbs
Produce softer stools, which means reduced constipation and colic.
