Laiterie de Montaigu and Biostime team up in China!

It is well known that mother’s milk is the best for babies, but not every woman can breastfeed their child for various reasons, including those in China. Infant formula is the only alternative when babies can’t get enough breast milk, so infant formula is extremely important. To meet the needs for infant formula with top-quality in China, Laiterie de Montaigu and Biostime Inc. (Guangzhou)  have worked together to bring the best infant formula to Chinese babies. After two years of research and development, the products were launched successfully in July 2008.

A production based on high quality milk from the “AOP Charente Poitou”

Cow milk of high quality is essential to produce the best formula, because major parts of the formula (such as proteins, lactose) are from cow milk. Most of Biostime Infant Formula and Mama Nutritional Milk are based on cow milk collected on the controlled area (AOP Charente Poitou) where Laiterie de Montaigu is located. Contracts are signed with local farmers who have to comply with strict specifications and regular audit of the regional AOP control laboratory.

• The cows are raised in well defined farming areas with no pollution
• The milk is subjected to a double control by both the Laiterie de Montaigu and the regional AOP laboratory
• Milk is collected every day and immediately pasteurized to prevent microbial contamination

　　　　　Intact powder particles　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Defective powder particles

This technology patented by Laterie de Montaigu is applied to production of Biostime Infant Formula and Mama Nutritional Milk. Its advantage over traditional dry-mixing technique is obvious:

• All ingredients, dissolved as liquid, are mixed in a totally homogeneous manner
• The resulting milk powder particles are intact, being optimal in its shape, size and integrity
• Easy to dissolve and absorb
  

More than 500 analyses are performed for every batch
We comply with highest standard for quality control. Yes, we take it more seriously than you could possibly imagine. In fact, we do more than 500 tests before the formulas are ready to be delivered. We thrive to make each and every tin the very best.

Formulas rich in valuable ingredients
To bring into the Chinese market the most advanced infant formulas, we have been using highly valuable and innovative ingredients. All our formulas contain β-vegetable oil, unique in China, which is better absorbed by the baby than normal vegetable oil. It reduces the chances of constipation and increases the absorption of fat and calcium compared to standard formula on the market.

We have also improved the protein composition by adding more functional whey proteins naturally present in human breast milk. α-lactalbumine and LPN contribute respectively to a better digestion and to the strengthening of the defense mechanisms.

DHA, ARA and GOS are standard in all the formulas.

“A New Generation of Infant Formula!” said Dr. Bo Lonnerdal

Distinguished Professor of Nutrition & Internal Medicine at the University of California, Davis, USA, Internationally recognized for his research in pediatric nutrition and a former consultant in nutrition for the WHO, Dr. Bo Lonnerdal was invited by Biostime to talk about infant nutrition during the launch ceremony of Biostime’s infant formula in July 2008 in Guangzhou. On this occasion Dr. Bo Lonnerdal commented on the Biostime Infant Formula as following:

“It is a new generation of infant formula to have optimized fatty acid composition, that is DHA+ARA +β-vegetable oil; optimized carbohydrate composition, that is lactose + galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS); and optimized protein composition, that is α-lactalbumin + LPN whey protein.” said Dr. Bo Lonnerdal.
