• To ensure survival of live bacteria, boiled water must be cooled below 45°C (warm water) before preparing the milk formula.
• Add 6 scoops for Friso® Gold 3 and mix with 180ml of water.
• Use prepared Friso® Gold 3 formula within a maximum of 1 hour after preparation.
• Throw away unfinished milk after feeding.
• Store the milk powder in a cool and dry place.
• Consume within 4 weeks after opening.

It is advisable that your child drinks 2 - 3 glasses of Friso® Gold 3 every day.

Milk shaken in a feeding bottle always produces bubbles, which disappear eventually. It’s best to swirl or lightly shake the bottle horizontally, not vertically. This reduces the production of air bubbles.

Although preparation in cold water does no harm to the milk formula, it is advisable to follow the instructions for use, i.e., boiled water must be cooled below 45°C (warm water) before preparing milk formula. If the formula is prepared with cold water, the powder may not dissolve properly.

No, it should not be diluted to ensure that your child gets the maximum nutrients from the milk. It is more advisable to feed your child extra water in between feeding times.

Friso® Gold 3 is recommended for children between the ages of 1 and 3. Your child is now old enough to drink Friso® Gold 4. Please click here to read more about Friso® Gold 4.

Friso® Gold is specially formulated with P2 Dual system™ - a well-researched combination of key nutrients together with Friso Synbiotic Agent, which is a combination of 2 Prebiotics and 2 Probiotics. It offers dual benefits for your child’s gut and immune system.

Synbiotic is a combination of Prebiotics and Probiotics that work together to tip the balance in favour of good bacteria in the digestive system.

Friso Synbiotic Agent is a combination of 2 Prebiotics and 2 Probiotics (Bifidobacterium lactis, Lactobacillus paracasei). It offers dual benefits for your child’s gut and immune system.

Prebiotics such as GOS and IcFOS, are a type of dietary fibre which help increase intestinal bifidobacteria. Examples of healthy live bacteria, or better known as Probiotics include Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus paracasei.

Bifidobacterium lactis may help reduce diarrhoea cases and is proven to be well tolerated and safe for children. Lactobacillus paracasei is a strain of healthy bacteria that helps improve digestive health by fighting bad bacteria that enters the body.

Friso Synbiotic Agent is a combination of 2 Prebiotics and 2 Probiotics. Both Prebiotics and Probiotics have been proven to impact the gastro-intestinal microbial microflora. A positively changing gastro-intestinal microbial community (probiotics: Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus paracasei) will strengthen the immune system.

Besides providing healthy and nutritionally balanced meals for your child, milk intake is highly encouraged. Milk with additional nutrient supplementation provides not only the protein and calcium he needs but also prebiotics (dietary fiber); probiotics; important fats such as DHA and AA, as well as antioxidants such as selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and carotenes.

The EFSA (European Food & Safety Authority, previously called Scientific Committee on Food – SCF, stated recently that administration of galacto- and fructo-oligosaccharides mixture (in a ratio of 9:1) up to a concentration of 0.8g/100 ml is safe and does not lead to any adverse effects in infants and children.

Combination of prebiotics and probiotics are known as synbiotics. Synbiotics will further benefit children in terms of providing better gut health environment and strengthening their immunity. According to an oral presentation by Prof. Patricia Conway during a symposium on Nutrition and Immunity organised by ILSI in 2008, children can tolerate up to 10¹⁰ to 10¹¹ cfu of the probiotics.
