As healthcare professional, you're frequently asked by parents about infant formula options, particularly when breast feeding is not possible. Understanding the distinguishing features of available formulas helps you provide informed guidance. Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Infant Formula offers several unique characteristics worth considering in clinical practice.
Discover how Kabrita Goat Milk Infant Formula stands out as a gentle, nutritionally advanced choice for infant nutrition, prioritizing easy digestion and closeness to breast milk.
Kabrita is inspired by the natural benefits of breast milk. Goat milk is naturally rich in nutrients that support digestion, immunity, and overall growth.
All mammalian milks contain two types of proteins: whey and casein. Casein can further be categorized into A1 beta-casein and A2 beta-casein. A1 beta-casein is typically found in conventional cow’s milk and may be associated with tummy troubles. Unlike A1 milk, A2 milk has not been associated with digestive issues such as abdominal pain, stool frequency changes, and constipation. Goat milk is A2 beta-casein dominant.
Kabrita Goat Milk Infant Formula is naturally A2 milk and may be an option for infants with digestive issues associated with cow milk sensitivity.
Goat milk has much less αs1-casein than cow milk. This protein makes hard curds in the stomach. Less αs1-casein means softer, easier-to-digest curds. Softer curds are better for a baby's developing digestive system.
Goat milk naturally contains 21 oligosaccharides, 5 of which are identical to human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). These natural prebiotics help: Help develop well-balanced gut microbiota and Protect against against pathogens
Nucleotides are the DNA building blocks and improve the development of the digestive system during the early phase of infant’s life. Kabrita formula has 4-5 times higher naturally occurring levels of nucleotides than cow’s milk formula. These levels more closely resemble human milk nucleotide levels.
Goat milk is a good start. But Kabrita adds more to make sure babies get complete nutrition for healthy growth.
Kabrita has a 60:40 whey-to-casein ratio, similar to human breast milk. By adding whey to goat milk-based formula, the ratio is adapted to improve digestibility, as whey is easier to digest than casein. Kabrita contains added goat milk whey to support better digestion and nutrient absorption. This formulation is especially helpful for infants in the Middle East, where digestive discomfort is commonly reported in early life.
Kabrita Goat Milk Formula contains added prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS), which help nourish beneficial gut bacteria, enhance stool consistency, and support a healthier intestinal environment for developing digestive systems.
Kabrita has the highest levels of OPO (beta-palmitate) in the market at 700 mg/100 ml. This special fat mimics the structure of human breast milk fat.
High levels of β-palmitate in infant formula have been thoroughly studied and are shown to positively influence gut health, infant growth, and overall comfort. Benefits include improved sleep, enhanced fat and calcium absorption, softer stools, healthier gut microbiota composition, and better bone development.
Kabrita adds DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and AA (arachidonic acid), omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, to help mimic the fatty acid profile of human milk. These essential fats support normal eye, brain, and nervous system development in children.
Carbohydrates are an important source of energy for rapidly growing babies. Lactose is the main sugar in human milk and in Kabrita, it provides Galactose for brain development and it has moderate glycemic index (unlike sucrose and maltodextrin) which give steady blood sugar. Additionally it favors the intestinal absorption of Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus & Vitamin D.
