Early Life Nutrition

Elevate the next generation

Life’s healthier when it’s supported from the beginning. That’s why our early life nutrition solutions help give infants the best start in life.

Beyond reducing the risk of preterm birth via maternal nutrition, we’re bringing infant nutrition closer to breast milk to raise the bar for infant health in the first 1,000 days of life. Our innovative solutions and consumer-friendly formats focus on expecting mothers, the infant microbiome and brain development. Together we can uplift the next generation’s potential.
