Aptamil Pepti

With proven efficacy for the management of cow’s milk allergy,1 the Aptamil Pepti range is nutritionally closer to breastmilk than other extensively hydrolysed formulas. Its ingredients include a blend of Galacto- and Fructo-oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS) and lactose.

Galacto-oligosaccharides and Fructo-oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS)

The proven benefits of the GOS/FOS blend in Aptamil Pepti include: 

  • Intestinal microflora closer to that of a breastfed baby2
  • Reduced numbers of potential pathogens in the gut3
  • Reduced incidence of atopic dermatitis4
  • Reduced occurrence of infections5
  • Reduced number of antibiotic courses6

Lactose

The role of lactose in the first 1000 days: 

  • Lactose is the primary carbohydrate in breastmilk
  • It provides benefits for an infant’s gut microbiota7. Diets without lactose may have disadvantages for the composition of the infant’s gut microbiota9
  • It helps to stimulate the absorption and retention of calcium, which is key for bone mineralisation8
  • Lactose improves palatability10

Superior Palatibility 

The Aptamil Pepti range are the UK’s most palatable EHF’s.11-12 According to healthcare professionals surveyed, many felt that the benefits of superior palatability include:

  • Increase in the chance of non-rejection11
  • Reduced likelihood in repeat visits to a healthcare professional due to a decreased need to switch to another formula11
  • Reduction in feed waste and healthcare costs11
