3776. Friso Care Lamb

Friso® Gold believes that a strong start in life should begin the moment a life is conceived in the womb. As long as a child is equipped with a solid immune system from an early age, he can venture out to explore and learn at the fullest potential safely and healthily. But how does a child even begin to acquire the necessary strengths to fight off diseases and develop a healthy mind and body? Through a strong gut, of course.

A healthy digestive system is vital for a person’s well-being as it is the site for food digestion, nutrient absorption and residence of friendly bacteria. It houses almost 70% of all antibody-producing cells, making it the body’s largest immune organ.

A good immune system shields us from harmful bacteria, viruses, microorganisms and allergens from the outside, and malignant cells that dwell within our bodies. Without it, the body will be prone to malnourishment and major illnesses and diseases, such as angina, flu, cough, cold and high fever.

Start strong in life by building a healthy gut, so that you can experience the best with your full potential.

FrieslandCampina’s History of Infant Formula
Since 1916, FrieslandCampina had been producing evaporated milk, which was widely accepted as an alternative infant formula. Studies later revealed that evaporated milk was not a feasible alternative of breast milk due to its composition.

In the 1950s, FrieslandCampina formulated a diverse range of liquid (evaporated) infant nutrition products. Then, in the early 1960s, FrieslandCampina began developing a powdered form of infant formula known as Frisolac.

Major steps were taken to develop an infant formula that was similar to mother’s milk:

Milk fat was replaced by a mix of vegetable oils to obtain a better fatty acid profile.
Increased whey resulted in a better casein-whey ratio as a protein source.
Vitamins and minerals were added.
Subsequently, other smaller improvements were gradually made to fortify infant formulas:

Nucleotides were included in the formula.
Long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and AA) were added.
Prebiotics: FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) and GOS (galacto-oligosaccharides) became regular ingredients.
Probiotics: Starting with Lactobacillus reuteri in Growing Up Milk, different species are being tested for infant formulas. Today, Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium lactis have been added to the latest formulation.
