Nestle Nankid Optipro HA 2 (6-36 Month)

Introduction

Nestlé NANKid Optipro HA 2 is a hypoallergenic follow-up formula designed for children aged 6 to 36 months who are at risk of developing allergies, especially cow’s milk protein allergy. As your child enters the weaning stage and begins exploring solid foods, this formula provides a balanced mix of partially hydrolyzed whey protein, essential fatty acids like DHA & ARA, probiotics, and key vitamins and minerals that support your child’s immune system, digestion, brain, and physical development.

Uses

Formulated to complement a child’s growing nutritional needs after 6 months of age, especially for toddlers with a family history of allergies. Suitable as a milk source during the transition to solid foods, while helping reduce the risk of allergic reactions.

Benefits

• Hypoallergenic Support: Partially hydrolyzed whey protein helps reduce allergenicity and supports better protein digestion.
• OPTIPRO HA Protein: A scientifically formulated protein blend tailored for a toddler’s growth needs.
• DHA & ARA: Support normal brain and visual development.
• Active Probiotics (Bifidobacterium lactis): Help support digestive and immune health.
• Vitamins & Minerals: Enriched with calcium, iron, vitamin D, and other nutrients to support healthy bones, blood, and overall development.

How it works

NANKid Optipro HA 2 works by using partially hydrolyzed protein, which has smaller peptides than regular cow’s milk protein. This helps reduce the allergen load while still supporting healthy growth. The addition of DHA, ARA, and probiotics brings this formula closer to the protective qualities of breast milk, ensuring developmental and immune support during your child’s crucial second and third years.
