Why should I choose a goat milk based formula?

Most importantly, you as a parent should feel comfortable with this choice for your baby! Goat milk is known for its naturally easy to digest properties. The soft and loose curd formed in the stomach results in smooth passage into the intestines for further digestion. This is very comforting for babies sensitive to cow milk too. The use of whole goat milk also comes with high levels of easily digestible short and mediumchain fatty acids. On top of that, goat milk is rich in highly bioavailable and critical micronutrients. The result: a comfortable goat milk choice!

Can I use Jovie goat milk products if my child has lactose intolerance?

If your child has a cow milk sensitivity, we advice to consult your health care provider about your child's symptoms and to discuss your goat milk feeding options.

About the Certifications

What does the certification for Glyphosate Residue Free mean?

Glyphosate is the active component in the herbicide 'RoundUp'. Although many scientists say its safety is proven, it is still under scrutiny for e.g. its carcinogenity. Additionally, it can be found more and more in the environment and even in food. The Glyphosate Residue Free certification verifies that our products do not contain the world's most used herbicide. To be certified, products must have lower levels than the government maximum residue limits, which are usually 10 parts per billion (ppb) for all pesticides. Our products are glyphosate residue free based on this definition.
