Introducing Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition
Our team of nutritionists, researchers, and food scientists have thoughtfully designed Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition with evidence-based ingredients to support the healthy growth and development of toddlers 12-36 months of age.
- Proudly crafted in The Netherlands
- Kabrita is naturally easy to digest and mild in taste, making it a great choice for your patients.
Inspired by nature, backed by science
Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition is the first goat milk-based toddler nutrition on the Canadian market.
The proteins in our premium goat milk are easier to digest than cow milk proteins.¹⁻⁶ Goat milk naturally contains 5x higher levels of prebiotic oligosaccharides compared to cow milk⁸⁻⁹ which may support a healthier gut microbiome and can help reduce the growth of pathogens.¹⁰
Nutritionally advanced
Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition contains 24 nutrients including vitamin D, iron, and DHA to support healthy, growing toddlers 12-36 months of age.
Vitamin D
86% of Canadian toddlers 12-36 months of age consumed less than the recommended amount of Vitamin D (15μg/day) from foods alone.¹¹ Each 200mL serving of Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition provides 0.90μg of vitamin D, which is 6% of the daily recommendation.¹²
Iron
It’s estimated that globally 43% of toddlers 12-36 months of age have iron deficiency.¹³ Each 200mL serving of KabritaGoat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition provides 2.4mg of iron which is 34% of the daily recommendation. Daily RDA/AI of iron for Canadian children aged 1-3 is 7mg.¹⁴
DHA
Only 5% of Canadian toddlers 24-36 months of age consume an adequate amount of DHA.¹⁵ Each 200mL serving of KabritaGoat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition provides 36mg of DHA, which helps meet the Adequate Intake (AI) of 700mg/day.¹⁶⁻¹⁷
Explore the benefits of goat milk
The foundation of Kabrita Goat Milk-Based Toddler Nutrition is premium goat milk from 100+ family-run farms in the Netherlands.
- Goat milk has been proven to be a safe base for child nutrition.¹⁸
- Goat milk has lower alpha s1-casein levels than cow milk, resulting in softer and looser curds, which are more easily digested.⁴⁻⁵
- Goat milk naturally contains 5x higher levels of prebiotic oligosaccharides compared to cow milk, which may support a healthier gut microbiome and can reduce the growth of pathogens,⁸⁻⁹
Our commitment to future generations
We intend to leave behind a better planet for our children, which is why we are dedicated to sustainable practices. In fact, 100% of our farmers participate in the Dutch Kwaligeit program which prioritizes animal health and welfare, energy consumption, and the environment.
Our operations are powered by 94% renewable energy, our canisters are recyclable, and our newest facility is 100% carbon and nitrogen free.
