HMOs: Beneficial Bacteria for Immune Support
Member's Mark Advantage contains HMO—human milk oligosaccharide. HMO is a prebiotic that helps create positive bacteria for immune support.
HMOs are oligosaccharides§ commonly found in breast milk. The most abundant HMO is known as 2' -fucosyllactose, or 2' -FL. This is abundant in most moms' breast milk. Just like Similac PRO-ADVANCE, our formula is formulated with 2' -FL HMO so it can help nourish your child's immune system and be more like the immune system of a breastfed baby.
Brain—Eye—Growth
Member's Mark Advantage features a blend of nutrients that occur in mother's milk for brain and eye development. These include DHA, Lutein and Vitamin E.
- DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that supports mental and visual development.
- Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid and antioxidant that is concentrated in the eye.
- Vitamin E is a nutrient that plays a role in healthy cellular development.
Member's Mark Advantage also contains antioxidant vitamins and minerals. These include Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc for immune support.
What Non-GMO Baby Formula Means to Us?
We consider an infant formula to be "Non-GMO" if it uses ingredients from crops that do not have a genetically engineered version in the marketplace or, if an ingredient could come from a crop that has a genetically engineered version, that ingredient comes from the version of the crop that has not been genetically engineered.
We take measures to eliminate genetically engineered material in our ingredients, but trace amounts might be present in our products. We disclose that trace levels may be present in finished product from process sources and manufacturing environments. Additionally, some methods used to obtain ingredients (such as fermentation) may involve genetically modified microorganisms or genetically engineered substrate.
Animal feed is often genetically engineered. This may mean some dairy ingredients used in the manufacture of non-GMO infant formulas may originate from cows fed some feed containing genetically engineered ingredients. This is common among many dairy-based non-GMO foods on the market today.
