Organic First Infant Milk

Organic Whole Milk is the first ingredient in each of our formula recipes and is what we’re known best for. Our organic whole milk is sourced in liquid form from grass-fed cows on European farms and is rich in natural mammal’s milk fat. Our use of whole milk provides a naturally creamy taste to our recipe and crucially means we can use reduced levels of vegetable oils, which typically form 100% of the fat content in other formula brands. Our use of organic whole milk also means we have naturally present MFGM in our recipes.

Organic Skim Milk acts as a source of proteins, carbohydrate, and essential vitamins and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus which are important for bone health. The skim milk you’ll find in Kendamil Organic comes from Organic Certified European farms and grass-fed cows.

We add organic whey protein to our recipe to adjust the naturally high casein content of cow's milk, achieving a whey to casein ratio of approximately 60:40. This adjusted ratio more closely resembles the composition of breastmilk. Whey protein is more easily digestible than casein protein as it remains soluble in the acidic environment of the stomach, allowing it to be digested and absorbed quickly. Our source of whey protein is also rich in lactose, which is the most common carbohydrate (or ‘sugar’) found in breastmilk, providing energy to your little one.

Alongside the natural milk fat from our whole milk, we use a blend of infant-grade coconut, sunflower and rapeseed oil for our fat content. These oils are necessary to provide essential fatty acids (such as linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid) which are present in human milk and are the precursors for your baby to make long chain polyunsaturated fats like DHA. We can’t rely exclusively on our whole cow’s milk fats as these fatty acids are not present in sufficient quantities. We never include Palm Oil or Soybean Oil in our formula.

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a type of omega-3 fatty acid which supports healthy brain and eye development. It is naturally found in breastmilk and plays a crucial role in the growth and function of an infant's nervous system. We source our DHA from sustainably farmed marine algae.

GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) are dietary fibers added to infant formula to mimic the effects of prebiotics found in breastmilk. They promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria which can lead to a healthier digestive system, softer stools, and potential immune system benefits.
