Discover our innovative paediatric nutrition ingredients
- Our award winning SureStart™ MFGM Lipids help to support brain development and cognition in infants. Brain development is often cited as one of the most important considerations of parents, and a top purchase driver of infant formula.
- An extensively studied probiotic, SureStart™ BifidoB HN019™ is clinically tested to support the body’s defence against the viral infections of colds and flu, and protect against common childhood illnesses.
- Our probiotic SureStart LactoB HN001™ is clinically tested to protect against eczema and reduce the risk of respiratory allergies such as hay fever and rhinitis in infants and young children. Providing support for maternal wellbeing, it may also help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and postnatal depression.
- SureStart™ Lactoferrin is clinically proven to boost your immune system. It may help protect against infection, improve immunity and support digestive or gut health.
Several studies in infants who consumed Lactoferrin-supplemented infant formula have shown the following key outcomes:
- A more beneficial gut microflora1
- Protection against respiratory tract infections2
- Improved iron status3
NZMP SureStartTM has the flexibility of New Zealand or European sourced high purity bioactive lactoferrin in both 90% or 95% specifications.
