SMA Gold*


The composition of SMA Gold was improved in 2007. This change represented the most fundamental change to protein composition in infant formula for over three decades.

Through major advances, the protein composition of SMA Gold was significantly improved.

In SMA Gold the level of alpha-lactalbumin (α-protein) – the predominant whey protein in breast milk – was increased.

The level of beta-lactoglobulin (β-protein) – the predominant whey protein in cows’ milk and other typical whey dominant infant formulas – was reduced. Breast milk typically does not contain β-protein.

SMA Gold now has the closest protein profile to that of breast milk, making it an ideal choice to complement breast feeding or for babies who are not being breast fed.

Since the first infant formula was developed in the early 20th century, SMA Nutrition has remained at the forefront of research and development in infant nutrition.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:  Breast feeding is best for babies.  Infant milks are intended to replace breast milk when mothers do not breast feed.  Good maternal nutrition is important for the preparation and maintenance of breast feeding. Introducing partial bottle feeding may have a negative effect on breast feeding and reversing a decision not to breast feed is difficult.  You should always seek the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist on the need for and proper method of use of infant milks and on all matters of infant feeding.  Infant milk should always be prepared and used as directed.  Unnecessary or improper use of infant milk may present a health hazard.  Social and financial implications should be considered when selecting a method of infant feeding.
