Karicare Starter Formula

Nutritionally complete for healthy infants, suitable from birth.

Karicare Starter Formula is designed to provide all your baby's nutritional needs for healthy growth & development when breast milk is not available.
Like breast milk, it's whey dominant to ensure ease of digestion and a similar rate of stomach emptying which helps your baby develop a feeding pattern closer to that of a breast-fed infant.^1,2
Karicare Starter formula is also enriched with beta-carotene, an antioxidant found in high levels in colostrum to assist with development of immunity.^3,4
As this formula is a 100% vegetable oil blend, it can help to improve absorption and digestion.
