Product Information
A nutritionally complete, infant formula suitable for premature or low birth weight infants.Note: Aptamil Gold+ Preterm Ready to Feed product label has a new look and the recipe has been updated. This is in line with our commitment at Nutricia to provide quality products and to continually ensure our products meet the needs of your patients.The DHA level has been increased based on European regulation changes. We have also taken the opportunity to align the ARA and DHA levels to a 1:1 ratio in line with ESPGHAN guidelines. Both ARA and DHA play an important role in infant development. The nutrition panel has been updated to reflect this change along with some minor micronutrient changes.
Features
Aligned with ESPGHAN GuidelinesGrowth support
- Macronutrient levels in line with ESPGHAN guidelines.1
- Contains phospholipid bound DHA which is more efficiently absorbed than triglyceride bound DHA by preterm infants.2
- Contains medium chain triglycerides (MCT) which provide a quick source of energy to meet the growth needs of preterm infants.3
In preterm infants, Nutricia’s blend of prebiotic oligosaccharides (90% scGOS, 10% lcFOS), 0.8g per 100mL has been shown to:
- Significantly reduce the presence of clinically relevant pathogens in faecal flora which indicates that Nutricia’s prebiotics may protect against infections.4
- Increase levels of beneficial bacteria similar to those found in preterm breast-fed infants.5
