Kendamil Toddler Formula 3 (2× 900g)

Does DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) belong to? -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. They are very important for infants during the growing season, but the organism cannot create them itself and so they must be ingested through food. Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential for the complete and rapid transmission of nerve signals from one neuron to another. DHA is often called the basic building block of the brain and is also contained in greater amounts in the retina of the eye, thus affecting their function and development.

The new formula of Kendamil contains an increased amount of substances called DHA and AA, as the European Union Regulation (EU 2016/127) stipulated that from February 2020 all infant formulas and follow-on formulas must contain 20-50 mg DHA-LCP / 100 kcal. Arachidonic acid (AA) has remained an optional component, however their ratio is recommended to be 1: 1 or 1: 2. Kendamil infant formulas fully comply with these recommendations.

Most UM available on our market contains skim milk and vegetable fats. There are many reasons and one of them is the effort to save. Kendamil milk is made from whole cow' s milk, it does not contain palm oil, fish oil, soy or GMOs.

We investigated why all infant formula using skim milk contains 25-30% vegetable fats, when these fats are primarily used for cooking and soap making. Breast milk contains more than 51% saturated animal fats. 20 years ago, infant formulas also contained whole milk. We asked: “Why has that changed?“ And we got the answer: “To save money.“ Our findings and further research have led us to return to whole milk with less oil.

It will not be, quite the opposite. Your baby in Kendamil milk will receive all the necessary nutrients, as it is made to be as close as possible to breast milk. Whole milk contains 26% fat and 74% protein. Current studies show that excessive protein intake in infancy increases the burden on the kidneys and can lead to the risk of being overweight and obese in later life. This hypothesis was confirmed by the European PDO project, which examined the effect of protein intake in non-breastfed infants on the risk of developing obesity in later life. Based on the results of this study, protein protein limits have been established and experts recommend reducing the amount of protein in baby milk. The protein levels in Kendamil infant formula meet the protein content limits.

Both series - both classic and BIO series - are made from whole cow' s milk. BIO or Organic milk comes from local BIO farms, which are smaller and have an organic certificate. These organic farms are more environmentally friendly and use only organic fertilizers, cows move here for up to 200 days a year on open pastures.

Yes, Kendamil does not contain palm oil, fish oil, GMOs or soy. Animal fat is much more digestible than vegetable fats, so Kendamil is also suitable for children with a more sensitive digestive system. It is not only suitable for children suffering from an allergy to cow' s milk protein or with lactose intolerance.

A review of evidence from nine studies has also shown that the use of palm olein (a liquid component of palm oil) in infant formulas can have unintended consequences, including reduced intestinal absorption of fats and calcium. The use of palm oil would not necessarily be ethical, especially as it can promote the massive deforestation of native forests in areas where oil palm is grown.

Fish is one of the common allergens today, so we decided on an alternative. Omega-3 from DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is obtained from natural pure seaweed. While most people believe that fish produce their own omega-3 acids, it is algae in their diet that makes them a rich source of these acids. The use of natural pure seaweed ensures a cleaner quality of omega 3 (acids). This alternative to fish oil is sourced from renewable and sustainable sources, helping to save the world' s precious seafood supplies.

The manufacturer does not intentionally put probiotics into milk. These live bacteria last unchanged for only a year, while the expiration of the milk is two years. For products that have such a long shelf life, probiotics may no longer be fully effective. The milk producer Kendamil does not consider it fair to have mothers pay for something that it cannot 100% guarantee with a product with such a long shelf life. We therefore recommend adding probiotic droplets separately to the milk. They can be purchased quite commonly at any pharmacy. However, even with them, it is necessary to pay attention to the date of production.
