Nutricia has more than a century of experience providing early life nutrition that contributes to GI health. We are dedicated to the support of breastfeeding in early life and since early 1970s we have been studying the composition and function of human milk, including its impact on the development of the infant’s digestive system. We have pioneered unique innovations to support GI health and well-being of infants.
Pioneering innovations in early life nutrition for GI health
Our dedication to GI health is supported by our extensive and on-going clinical trial programmes. We have partnered with more than 25 external bodies, including research institutes and universities to continually improve the composition of our infant formulas.
Managing functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs)
Infants suffering from GI symptoms often go through a series of unnecessary investigations and medical treatments. Generally, medication has failed to bring significant improvement in these conditions.1Vandenplas Y et al. Acta Paediatrica . Published on 2016;105:244-52
Based on the latest international guidelines and expert recommendations, the practical algorithms for the management of frequent GI symptoms emphasise the importance of dietary intervention, parental reassurance and education.2Vandenplas Y et al. Acta Paediatrica . Published on 2016;105:244-52 We affirm that breast feeding is the ideal source of nutrition for infants and it should be continued even when infants display gastrointestinal symptoms.
With the conviction that nutritional measures should be the first line in management, Danone Research & Innovation has pioneered innovative formulas with clinically proven efficacies, for non-breastfed infants.
Clinically proven innovations for FGID management
We continuously collaborate with global experts to provide healthcare professionals with evidence-based nutritional solutions in an integrated approach for a range of GI issues.
