1. GROWTH & ME

Ensuring your child’s growth and development is one of the most important things you can do as a parent.

Dad & Me® is formulated with science-backed ingredients to support your child’s healthy growth, bone development, and overall well-being.

Packed with essential nutrients like Colostrum Basic Protein (CBP), Calcium, and key vitamins, our product provides the foundation your child needs to grow strong and healthy.

CBP (Colostrum Basic Protein)

CBP is a rare, functional protein extracted from bovine colostrum and also found in breast milk. This powerful protein supports bone and muscle development while promoting healthy growth.

Naturally present in CBP:

  • Lactoferrin: Supports immunity and reduces inflammation.
  • Immunoglobulins (IgG): Enhance immune function.
  • Growth Factors (like IGF-1): Promote cell growth and repair.
  • Essential Amino Acids: Aid in healthy development.

With only 4 grams of CBP extracted from every 10 kilograms of colostrum, this makes it a concentrated and powerful ingredient for growing children.

Dad & Me® contains 100mg of CBP per 100g, rich in the growth factors, amino acids, and immunoglobulins needed to help support strong bones, muscles, and overall healthy growth.

Other Key Vitamins and Minerals

Dad & Me® is packed full of other key minerals and vitamins to help with growth including: 

  • Vitamin D: Enhances calcium absorption, supporting strong bones and healthy bone mineralisation.
  • Vitamin K: Works with calcium to regulate bone mineralisation, ensuring proper bone development.
  • Magnesium: Aids in bone and muscle formation and helps the body utilise calcium effectively.
  • Iron: Important for brain development and the production of red blood cells, supporting healthy cognitive function.
  • Zinc: Supports cell growth and development, playing a key role in overall growth and immune function.

2. IMMUNITY & ME

Building a strong immune foundation early on is one of the greatest
gifts you can give your child.

Dad & Me® is thoughtfully crafted with science-backed ingredients like
lactoferrin, probiotic HN019, and blueberries to naturally support your
child’s immunity from the inside out.

Nature’s
Immune
Guardian

Lactoferrin is a powerful protein found in both cow’s milk and breast milk. It is known for its ability to support and strengthen the immune system.

  • 100mg per 100g of Dad & Me® to help defend against viruses and bacteria
  • Supports immune cell activity (like macrophages and NK cells)
  • Helps maintain a strong gut lining, reducing inflammation
  • Encourages growth of healthy gut bacteria
  • Clinically shown to support immune system development in young children

Probiotic HN019: Gut Health That Protects

Probiotic HN019 (Bifidobacterium lactis) is a well-studied strain sourced from healthy individuals, proven to enhance both digestion and immune defense.

  • 8 billion active cultures per 100g
  • Supports gut microbiota balance
  • Boosts immune cell function and gut barrier strength
  • Survives stomach acid to deliver benefits where they matter most
  • Backed by multiple clinical studies on immunity in children

3. VISION
& ME Vision

Nurturing eyesight
from the inside out

A child's eyes develop rapidly in the early years. From focusing and light adaptation to long-term retinal health, their vision needs targeted nutritional support. That’s why Dad & Me® includes natural, science-backed ingredients to protect and strengthen young eyes, helping your little human see the world clearly today and in the years to come.

Lutein: Eye Health and Brain Support

Lutein is a yellow carotenoid naturally found in the retina, particularly in the macula. It plays a key role in:

  • Filtering harmful blue light from screens and sunlight
  • Providing antioxidant protection against cell damage
  • Maintaining macular health and visual sharpness
  • Reducing inflammation in the eyes

Lutein delivers this essential nutrient in a natural, effective form to support developing vision.

Kiwifruit: Natural Support for Growing Eyes

Kiwifruit is packed with nutrients essential for eye health:

  • Lutein and zeaxanthin, concentrated in the retina to protect against damage and vision loss
  • Vitamin C, an antioxidant that helps prevent cataracts and oxidative stress
  • Vitamin E, supporting eye tissue repair and cellular health

These nutrients help defend against free radicals and preserve long-term visual function in growing little humans.

Blueberry: Antioxidant-Rich Brain and Eye Fuel

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanins, powerful plant compounds that:

  • Protect the small blood vessels in the eyes
  • Support regeneration of retinal cells
  • Improve night vision and light adjustment
  • Reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts

By promoting resilience and clarity, blueberries help protect your little human’s eyesight in today’s demanding visual environment.
