Is Abbott Grow Milk Good?
Supports the Digestive System

Although Abbott Grow milk is rich in protein, it does not cause constipation because this protein is easily digested. In addition, the milk also supplements lysine to help children absorb nutrients and develop better.
In particular, Abbott Grow milk contains probiotics, GOS, which is a food source for probiotics (beneficial bacteria beneficial to a baby’s intestines). Thanks to GOS, the digestive system is stimulated to function efficiently and healthily.

Strengthens the Immune System
Other components in the milk, such as zinc, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, play a significant role in enhancing a child’s immune system and improving their resistance to prevent common infections.

Provides Nutrients for Brain Development
Abbott Grow milk is a milk line that develops the brain, helping children absorb faster, improving their learning ability, and developing their intelligence. It also contains zinc and magnesium to help children improve their concentration.
Abbott Grow 3+ milk lines also contain the G-Power nutrient system, Protein, DHA, Taurine, AA, and 9 essential amino acids for brain development.

Fragrant and Easy to Drink
The milk has a light aroma, is easy to drink, and is not too sweet, so it does not become cloying for children when drinking. In particular, the milk has a taste similar to breast milk, making it easy for babies to accept and use, even for those who are just starting to get used to and find it difficult to get used to formula milk.

Abbott Grow Milk Supports Height Development
The milk is rich in calcium, phosphorus, and Vitamin D. The combination of these components is calculated to meet the standards recommended by European experts. Therefore, it helps children absorb nutrients better and develop physically.
In addition, the fat blends in the milk do not contain palm oil, making the calcium absorption process easier. As a result, the amount of calcium absorbed is higher, supporting the child’s height development.

Does Abbott Grow Milk Increase Weight?
The amount of protein and safe, healthy plant-based fat blends in Abbott Grow milk helps children gain weight. However, the degree of weight gain support for children is not as high as other types of milk. Therefore, it is necessary to combine supplements with other nutrients and let children engage in more physical activities to improve weight gain.

Real milk will be very smooth and not clumped
Based on the smell of the milk
When you open the lid of a container of real milk, it will have a characteristic light aroma, not too strong. With fake milk, when you open it, you will smell a sour, very strong, and unpleasant odor. If you taste real milk, it will be very smooth, slightly sticky on the tip of your tongue, and dissolves slowly, while fake milk has large, rough milk particles, a sour taste, and dissolves quickly.
Mixing milk with water
Add 1 tablespoon of milk to a glass of hot water. Real milk will float on the surface of the glass and only dissolve after stirring. After 5 minutes, it will not settle, while fake milk dissolves quickly without stirring and will settle.
Taste test
Put the milk in your mouth and taste it. If it tastes mildly sweet, smooth, and sticky on the tip of your tongue and dissolves slowly, it is real milk. If it is fake milk, it will dissolve quickly, the particles will be rough, and there may be a fishy taste in your mouth.
