Product Information

A nutritionally complete, infant formula suitable for premature or low birth weight infants.Note: Aptamil Gold+ Preterm Ready to Feed product label has a new look and the recipe has been updated. This is in line with our commitment at Nutricia to provide quality products and to continually ensure our products meet the needs of your patients.The DHA level has been increased based on European regulation changes. We have also taken the opportunity to align the ARA and DHA levels to a 1:1 ratio in line with ESPGHAN guidelines. Both ARA and DHA play an important role in infant development. The nutrition panel has been updated to reflect this change along with some minor micronutrient changes.

Features

Aligned with ESPGHAN GuidelinesGrowth support

  • Macronutrient levels in line with ESPGHAN guidelines.1
  • Contains phospholipid bound DHA which is more efficiently absorbed than triglyceride bound DHA by preterm infants.2
  • Contains medium chain triglycerides (MCT) which provide a quick source of energy to meet the growth needs of preterm infants.3

Immune system support

In preterm infants, Nutricia’s blend of prebiotic oligosaccharides (90% scGOS, 10% lcFOS), 0.8g per 100mL has been shown to:

  • Significantly reduce the presence of clinically relevant pathogens in faecal flora which indicates that Nutricia’s prebiotics may protect against infections.
  • Increase levels of beneficial bacteria similar to those found in preterm breast-fed infants.5

OptiPack benefits

AA = Arachidonic Acid. DHA = Docosahexaenoic Acid. lcFOS = Long Chain Polyfructose from chicory inulin, formerly known as long chain Fructo-Oligosaccharides. LCPs= Long Chain Polyunsaturated fatty acids. scGOS = short chain Galacto-Oligosaccharides from milk.

BREAST MILK IS BEST FOR BABIES: Professional advice should be followed before using an infant formula. Introducing partial bottle feeding could negatively affect breast feeding. Good maternal nutrition is important for breast feeding and reversing a decision not to breast feed may be difficult. Infant formula should be used as directed. Proper use of an infant formula is important to the health of the infant. Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of feeding.
