This first infant formula meets the nutritional needs of babies from newborn to 6 months. The main feature of this formula is that is contains carob bean gum which makes it thicker than milk, and thus, an alimentary bolus. It helps prevent episodes of regurgitation. Also, carob bean gum, due to being a dietary fibre, stimulates growth of bacteria and increases the volume and viscosity of stools.1-3 Another thickener used to treat regurgitation is starch. Unlike carob bean gum, starch is not a dietary fibre, and therefore, does not provide the benefits of dietary fibre. Also, starch is pre-digested by the α-Amylase enzyme which is present in saliva and the pancreas. Therefore, starch loses some of its thickening properties once it is digested by the α-Amylase enzyme. However, carob bean gum is not digested by the α-Amylase enzyme nor any other enzymes, meaning that it does not lose its thickening properties.3 It also contains galacto-oligosaccharides that:4 Help stimulate growth of bifidobacteria that are found in the colon.
