The Aptamil Pepti range

With proven efficacy for the management of cow’s milk allergy,¹the 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
