NAN PRO STAGE 2 FOLLOW UP FORMULA POWDER 400 GM

How NAN PRO STAGE 2 FOLLOW UP FORMULA POWDER 400 GM Works

• NAN PRO Stage 2 Follow-Up Formula is designed to support your baby's growth and development from 6 months onwards, as a liquid part of the diet during and after weaning, in addition to other foods. It is not intended to be used as a breast milk substitute. The formula contains a blend of essential nutrients that work synergistically to contribute to various aspects of your baby's health.
• **Protein:** NAN PRO Stage 2 contains high-quality whey protein that is partially hydrolyzed. This means the protein is broken down into smaller peptides, making it easier for your baby to digest. Protein is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle growth, and producing enzymes and hormones. The specific protein composition is designed to be gentle on the developing digestive system.
• **Probiotics:** This formula incorporates *Bifidobacterium lactis* (BL) , a probiotic that supports a healthy gut flora. A balanced gut microbiome is essential for optimal digestion, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Probiotics help to colonize the gut with beneficial bacteria, which can help to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort and support overall well-being.
• **DHA (Omega-3 Fatty Acid):** Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid that is vital for brain and eye development. DHA is a major structural component of brain cell membranes and the retina. Adequate DHA intake during infancy is crucial for cognitive function, visual acuity, and overall neurological development.
• **Vitamins and Minerals:** NAN PRO Stage 2 is enriched with a range of essential vitamins and minerals that are necessary for various bodily functions. These include Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, B vitamins, iron, zinc, calcium, and iodine. These micronutrients play critical roles in immune function, bone development, energy metabolism, and cognitive development. For instance, Vitamin D supports calcium absorption for strong bones, while iron is essential for healthy red blood cell production.
• **Important Notice:** NAN PRO Stage 2 is a follow-up formula and is intended for infants from 6 months onwards. It should not be used as a breast milk substitute during the first 6 months of life. The decision to start complementary feeding, including the use of follow-up formula, should be made only on the advice of a healthcare professional, based on the baby's individual needs and development.

While NAN PRO Stage 2 is generally safe for most infants, some potential side effects, though rare, can occur.
