Why Karihome | Whole Goat Milk Formula from New Zealand

Karihome Whole Goat Formula (WGF) shown to protect formula-fed children from eczema backed by GIraFFE study

Karihome^® is a Whole Goat Milk Formula (WGM) and that's what sets us apart. Unlike many formulas that use skim milk, added whey and vegetable oils, we keep the natural goodness of whole goat milk.

Whole Goat Milk Formula (WGF) means：

~50% Milk Fat
Naturally retains valuable milk nutrients, including Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM) and sn-2 palmitate (sn-2 PA).
Gently Processed with Nutri-Kept^TM
Minimally processed – preserving natural goodness.
Gentle Formula
Low in β-lactoglobulin and αS1-casein¹⁴, with simple, minimally processed ingredients for gentle nutritional care for little ones.

Scientifically proven goat milk is gentler on the tummy.

Karihome Goat Milk Formula contains only natural A2-type β-casein² and no A1 β-casein. In contrast, standard cow's milk formulas often contain a mix of both A1 and A2-type β-casein proteins.^3,4 A2-type β-casein has been clinically shown to be easier to digest and gentler on the digestive system.⁵

Goat milk has 6 times more natural sn-2PA.

Karihome Goat Milk Formula contains naturally high levels of sn-2 palmitic acid. Levels of naturally occuring sn-2PA is 30% in goat vs. 5% in cow⁶.

LEVELS OF NATURALLY OCCURRING SN-2 PALMITIC ACID

Goat milk contains higher levels of protective components.

Whole goat milk has 3 times more natural nucleotides than whole cow milk⁷, and Karihome Goat Milk Formula contains up to 8 times more natural prebiotic oligosaccharides⁸. These prebiotics nourish good bacteria and help strengthen the body's natural defenses.⁹

WHOLE GOAT MILK CONTAINS 3 TIMES MORE NATURAL NUCLEOTIDES THAN IN WHOLE COW MILK7

Naturally Present MFGM — Supporting Your Child's Development
Made from whole goat milk, our formula naturally contains Milk Fat Globule Membrane (MFGM), which surrounds milk fat globules and provides bioactive nutrients that support your child's development^10,11.

Our unique NutriKept^TM process minimizes unnecessary processing to deliver the natural nutrition of goat milk straight from the farm to your table.

Made from rare, natural whole goat milk never skimmed, preserving its active nutrients.

Helps reduce digestive burden by avoiding repeated high heat and limiting harmful advanced glycation end-products (AGEs)¹² formation.

Less processing, more natural nutrition.
