What is Picot AR Follow-On Formula 800 g used for?
Spitting up is common in infants because their digestive systems are still developing. Picot AR Stage 2 Formula 800 g is designed to help reduce spitting up while providing the nutrients essential for your baby’s growth. Its carob-based thickener slows the rate of ingestion and promotes better digestive tolerance.
Carob gum, a plant-based thickener, creates a thicker texture. The result? The formula stays in the stomach longer, thereby reducing acid reflux and improving your baby’s digestive comfort.
In addition to its thickening effect, carob is rich in natural fiber that supports regular bowel movements. It thus helps prevent common digestive discomforts such as colic or bloating.
This infant formula contains essential fats derived from high-quality vegetable oils (palm, canola, high-oleic sunflower, and coconut). These fats are essential for the development of an infant’s brain and nervous system.
The DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) content—an omega-3 fatty acid derived from fish oil—promotes optimal vision and healthy brain development. Combined with essential vitamins and minerals, it ensures balanced growth.
To further enhance its benefits, this formula is enriched with lactic acid bacteria (Bifidobacterium lactis), which help strengthen the gut flora and promote gentler digestion. Thanks to this unique combination, Picot AR Follow-On Formula 800 g is a reliable and effective alternative to breast milk for babies prone to frequent spitting up.
