HUMANA

Humana is a brand dedicated to the research, production and development of food supplements that treat problems related to the natural production of breast milk during the breastfeeding period, poor digestion in infants, the rebalancing and protection of the intestinal flora against diarrhoea, insomnia in infants and other sleep disorders, vitamin D and DHA deficiencies related to rickets due to the fact that their deficiency is caused by the lack of vitamin D and DHA.It is also involved in the rebalancing and protection of the intestinal flora against diarrhoeal processes, infant insomnia and other sleep disorders, vitamin D and DHA deficiencies related to rickets because their insufficiency hinders calcium absorption, as well as in visual, neurological and immune development. The company also designs and formulates powdered solutions that shape infant formulas for starter, follow-on and growth for those cases where breastfeeding is not possible or is insufficient, as a complementary method of nutrition and infant feeding. It also works to develop innovative products that carry out dietary treatment in case of digestive disorders and meet the nutritional needs of the infant in cases of proven gastro-oesophageal reflux.

All these milks are manufactured directly from Germany, imposing a strict chain of control over the entire process, with its own farms and cows, passing through a modern laboratory to the final product and its distribution to pharmacies and parapharmacies all over the world. The milk is processed in less than 48 hours to control the maximum quality and freshness of the milk, preserving all its nutritional properties and ensuring the best digestibility. This process starts at the beginning: feeding the cows totally free of genetically modified agents guarantees a product that respects the raw material as much as possible to guarantee the health of the baby and the well-being and care of the environment. All of this is achieved through techniques that blend tradition and the avant-garde, using the most cutting-edge technology to achieve zero environmental damage with passion and effort. The company has been researching and developing foods that support the physiological maturation of infants and young children for more than 60 years.

What products does Humana offer?

The brand offers a wide range of Humana products that follow two lines of action: on the one hand, infant milks made for nutritional care and infant dietetics and, on the other hand, food supplements that help regulate digestive processes, protect the infant's intestinal flora, increase the supply of vitamin D and DHA essential for calcium absorption, visual, neurological and immune development and favour the natural production of breast milk during the breastfeeding period. Three types of powdered solutions for breastfeeding replacement or supplementation can be found in the catalogue. Miltina 1, a starter milk that fully simulates breast milk, based on lactose as the main source and carbohydrates. Miltina 2, low protein follow-on milk from 6 months of age with vitamin D and Omega 3 fatty acids that improve bone, nerve fibre and brain development. Gluten-free and free of genetically modified agents.

Humana Miltina 3 growing-up milk from 12 months is rich in iron, essential for mental development and blood formation, vitamins A, C and D which contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. It does not contain gluten. It should be borne in mind that it is not a substitute for a varied diet in which the baby begins to incorporate and combine it with solid foods such as fruit, vegetables, pulses, meat and fish in porridge or baby food. Miltina AR and Miltina AC Digest are two products specifically formulated for the satisfactory treatment of certain nutritional needs of infants with gastro-oesophageal reflux problems or digestive disorders from day one. The series of food supplements are designed to address multiple nutritional needs of the baby: Colimil Baby which aids infant digestion, Melamil, a supplement with melatonin which helps to reduce the time needed to fall asleep, Rotagermine, based on live lactic ferments and prebiotics for the rebalancing of the intestinal flora and Vitadé with vitamins D and DHA essential for bone formation.

Maternal nutrition during pregnancy

Mother's nutrition during pregnancy is vital for the baby to not only develop perfectly during the nine months of gestation, but will also lay the foundations for proper, healthy and strong growth. It should be borne in mind that the energy and nutritional expenditure of a pregnant woman is much higher due to all the physiological and hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. It is calculated that during the first trimester the nutritional needs increase by 150 kcal, reaching up to 350 kcal per day. Nutrition and dietetics will therefore play an essential role during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with a balanced and varied diet rich in healthy and natural foods such as fruit and vegetables and a reduction in saturated fats and sugars being necessary and recommended.

An adequate supply of nutrients is necessary for the foetus to form properly, so it is vital to control the quality and quantity of the food consumed to ensure that the main basic needs are covered. It is not a matter of eating twice as much, but twice as much better. Sometimes, this excessive expenditure of nutrients weakens the natural formation of breastmilk, making it excessively difficult to cover each and every one of the feeds that the baby needs during the first days of life. In this respect, it is essential to avoid any kind of deficit in the baby, so it is advisable to help the body with food supplements that protect and improve milk production during the breastfeeding process or to accompany feedings with supplementary infant milks.

Where can I buy Humana products?

Buying Humana products is easy and safe in the online parapharmacy of Farmaciasdirect, an economical and convenient way to purchase food supplements and powdered solutions of specific infant milks from home to care for and protect the good food, nutrition and diet of the mother during pregnancy and the baby during the first months of life. It should always be remembered that breastfeeding is the best, only and most complete food that a baby needs up to 6 months of age, as it not only covers all nutritional needs, but also immunological and emotional needs: it stimulates the immune system, protects against diabetes and provides comfort, tenderness and communication in the mother-child relationship.

However, there are cases in which this is not possible for some reason, which is why all Humana products have a good price on the Farmaciasdirect website to offer infant formulas that are as similar as possible to breast milk, guaranteeing proper nutrition and correct development of the infant. Some of the recommendations when preparing a bottle: wash your hands and the surface where it is going to be prepared with soap and water, use a clean bottle, discard leftover milk, it is not necessary to boil the bottles, washing them with the rest of the dishes is enough. From the age of 6 months onwards, it is advisable to include fruit and vegetables in soft textures such as porridge in their diet.
