Ingredient deep dive
Click on each ingredient to learn what it is and why we’re proud to have it in our formulaLactose is the main carbohydrate in human milk, and is therefore the preferred and advised carbohydrate in infant formula.20
Lactose is essential for infant growth and development; in fact, infants receive 40% of their caloric requirements from the lactose they consume in the first six months of life.21
Lactose also has prebiotic properties and enhances the absorption of calcium and magnesium,22 and may support gut health by increasing the growth of beneficial bacteria.23 While the goat milk in our products provides some lactose, we add additional lactose to emulate the amount in breast milk.
Fats are crucial for healthy growth and development. No single plant-based oil has a comparable fatty acid profile to that of breast milk, so all infant formulas contain an oil blend. Our oil blend includes coconut oil to deliver a fatty acid profile that resembles the fatty acid profile in human milk as close as possible.
Kabrita adds sn-2 palmitic acid as 1,3-dioleoyl-2-palmitoyl triglyceride (OPO) in sufficient amounts, which has been shown to improve calcium absorption, fat absorption, and bone strength.14,15
Other benefits including better stool consistency, reduced crying time, and a well-balanced gut microbiota have been reported in scientific research.17,25–29
Fats are crucial for healthy growth and development. No single plant-based oil has a comparable fatty acid profile to that of breast milk, so all infant formulas contain an oil blend. Our oil blend includes rapeseed oil to deliver a fatty acid profile that resembles the fatty acid profile in human milk as close as possible.
Fats are crucial for healthy growth and development. No single plant-based oil has a comparable fatty acid profile to that of breast milk, so all infant formulas contain an oil blend. Our oil blend includes sunflower oil to deliver a fatty acid profile that resembles the fatty acid profile in human milk as close as possible.
Whole goat milk is a very rich source of nutrients, and a good source of fatty acids.1
Goats milk has a natural whey to casein ratio of approximately 20:80, so we add whey to mimic the 60:40 ratio found in mature breast milk.24
Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are complex carbohydrates that are also naturally found in human milk.
GOS is the most studied prebiotic and has proven health benefits for infants such as the ability to stimulate growth of beneficial bacteria, hamper the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and improve stool consistency.30
2'-Fucosyllactose (2'-FL) is the most abundant human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) found in breast milk, acting as a prebiotic that supports immune health and gut microbiota in infants.
Calcium makes up much of the structure of bones and teeth and allows normal bodily movement by keeping tissue rigid, strong, and flexible.
A small ionized pool of calcium in the circulatory system, extracellular fluid, and various tissues mediates blood vessel contraction and dilation, muscle function, blood clotting, nerve transmission, and hormonal secretion.42
Sodium is a mineral that is essential in supporting physiological processes like neural transmission, muscle contraction, and vascular tone, as well as the drive for active transport of nutrients (e.g. glucose).40
Sodium chloride (table salt) provides essential electrolytes which are vital for fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle function in infants. It helps mimic the natural salt content found in breast milk to support healthy growth and development.
Potassium, is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle function, including the heartbeat, all vital for an infant’s growth and development.
Potassium is required for normal cell function because of its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume and transmembrane electrochemical gradients.
Potassium has a strong relationship with sodium, the main regulator of extracellular fluid volume, including plasma volume.43
Magnesium is a mineral that is important for regulating muscle and nerve function, blood sugar levels, and blood pressure and making protein, bone, and DNA.47
Zinc is a mineral and involved in many aspects of cell metabolism. It plays a role in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis and cell division.
Zinc also supports healthy growth and development during infancy, childhood, and adolescence and is involved in the sense of taste.51
Copper is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy production, iron metabolism, neuropeptide activation, connective tissue synthesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Copper is also involved in many physiologic processes, such as angiogenesis; neurohormone homeostasis; and regulation of gene expression, brain development, pigmentation, and immune system functioning.
Copper also helps the body defend against oxidative damage.57
It provides essential calcium and phosphorus, which support healthy bone growth, tooth development, and cellular function in infants. These minerals are critical during early growth for building a strong skeletal structure.
Manganese is involved in amino acid, cholesterol, glucose, and carbohydrate metabolism; reactive oxygen species scavenging; bone formation; reproduction; and immune response.
Manganese also plays a role in blood clotting and hemostasis in conjunction with vitamin K.56
Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones that regulate many important biochemical reactions, including protein synthesis and enzymatic activity, and are critical determinants of metabolic activity.
They are also required for proper skeletal and central nervous system development in fetuses and infants.61
Selenium plays critical roles in thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis, reproduction, and protection from oxidative damage and infection.63
The plant-based oil arachidonic acid (ARA) is an omega-6 fatty acid. ARA is one of the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) naturally found in breast milk.31
Together with DHA, ARA supports normal eye, brain, and neurological development as well as the repair and growth of muscle tissue.32–35
The balance between DHA and ARA is important, and Kabrita formula meets the scientific recommendation of more ARA than DHA.31,34,36,37
Since 2020, the European infant formula regulations require DHA to be added to infant formula, although it’s not mandatory in the United States.39
Along with ARA, DHA is crucial for brain, eye, and neurological development for infants.32,35
Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine, and certain neurotransmitters, and it is involved in protein metabolism.
Vitamin C is also an important physiological antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body, including alpha-tocopherol. It plays an important role in immune function and improves the absorption of nonheme iron.44
Vitamin C is also an important physiological antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants within the body, including alpha-tocopherol. It plays an important role in immune function and improves the absorption of nonheme iron.44
Niacin is a vitamin which is crucial for many oxidation/reduction reactions and is associated with several physiological processes.50
Pantothenic acid has a central role in a wide variety of metabolic pathways including fatty acid synthesis.52
Vitamin A supports cell growth and differentiation, playing a critical role in the normal formation and maintenance of the heart, lungs, eyes, and other organs.53
Riboflavin also helps maintain normal levels of homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood.55
Biotin is critical in the metabolism of fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids. It also plays key roles in histone modifications, gene regulation (by modifying the activity of transcription factors), and cell signaling.62
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes calcium absorption in the gut and is critical for normal bone mineralization, bone growth, and bone remodeling.
Vitamin D has other roles in the body, including reduction of inflammation as well as modulation of such processes as cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and glucose metabolism.
Many genes encoding proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are modulated in part by vitamin D.64
Potassium is required for normal cell function because of its role in maintaining intracellular fluid volume and transmembrane electrochemical gradients.
Potassium has a strong relationship with sodium, the main regulator of extracellular fluid volume, including plasma volume.43
L-Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that plays a key role in infant growth, nitrogen balance, and the production of serotonin, which supports sleep and mood regulation.
