About Lebenswert Stage 3
This no-additive formula is clean, simple, nutritionally balanced, and promotes healthy growth. Lebenswert Stage 3 is suitable for babies aged 10 months and above, and can be used as a complete alternative to breast milk or alternatively as a breast milk supplement and meal enhancer supplement to cow's milk for babies and toddlers. Lebenswert Stage 3 can also help transition a baby off of breast milk during the weaning process, or for babies who previously eaten Lebenswert Stage 1 and Lebenswert Stage 2.
Lebenswert Stage 3 is based on organic skim milk and contains organic maltodextrin that acts as a flavor and consistency balancing agent. Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that is very easy to digest and releases energy slower than other simple carbohydrates. Maltodextrin also balances out the natural sweetness of cow's milk. Lebenswert Stage 3 ensures that your baby receives all the vitamins and minerals required for early stage growth and development, all the while avoiding unpleasant synthetic ingredients. This formula is very natural and contains no color additives and no man made flavor enhancers, including no prebiotics and no probiotics.
This Lebenswert formula is made with only organic ingredients that have achieved Bioland organic certification, Germany's biggest food association. This Bioland certification means that Lebenswert formulas are based on organic cow's skim milk from biodynamic pastures that are exceptionally animal friendly and graze in fields that are free of pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, and antibiotics. Bioland certifications are of an even higher standard than European Union organic standards - which are already more regulated than comparable organic certifications in the United States. Lebenswert Stage 3 contains organic whey powder, organic vegetable oils, and is entirely soy-free, gluten free, and GMO-free.
