Infant Formula

Product Description

Natural cultures are part of what gives breast milk its naturally protective qualities. And of the natural cultures found in breast-fed babies, one is by far the most prevalent – Bifidobacteria.¹ Recently published research has shown that at least 85% of breast milk samples contain Bifidobacteria.^2,3 Supplementing with Bifidobacterium lactis helps bring the balance of cultures in formula-fed infants closer to that of breast-fed infants⁴.

That's why we added Bifidobacterium lactis, which we call bifidus BL, to Nestlé GOOD START® Natural Cultures^TM. It's the first and only Infant Formula to contain it because we believe babies deserves it.

New Nestlé GOOD START® Natural Cultures^TM:
• Is made with 100% whey protein, and uses a unique patented process to partially break down the whey protein into smaller pieces making it easy to digest**
• Contains DHA (Omega-3) & ARA (Omega-6) for eye, brain, and nerve development
• The only routine iron-fortified Infant Formula shown to help reduce the possibility of an allergic reaction due to whole proteins.^5,6 Unlike other formulas for healthy, full term babies, Nestlé GOOD START® does not contain whole milk protein and therefore may reduce the possibility of an allergic reaction due to these proteins.*

Available for over 15 years and in 30 countries, Nestlé B. lactis-supplemented infant formulas have an extensive history of safe use in paediatric populations. A significant body of clinical evidence supports the use of B.lactis-supplementation.^7-25

Nothing else is breast milk. But when Moms are unable to breast-feed, or choose to supplement, one thing is clear: nothing else is Nestlé GOOD START® Natural Cultures.^TM
