What is Optimum Gold 1?
Optimum Gold 1 is a formula milk powder designed for infants aged 0-6 months. While breastfeeding is the best nutrition for infants in the first 6-12 months, Optimum Gold 1 can be a viable alternative if breastfeeding is not possible for some reason.

Advantages of Vinamilk Optimum Gold 1 Formula Milk
- No worries about fake products as it is a domestic formula easily purchased at Vinamilk's authorized distributors nationwide.
- Costs less than imported formulas with similar ingredient compositions and ratios.
- Enhances absorption for infants with HMO (2’- FL) prebiotic formula, structurally similar to nutrients found in breast milk. It fosters the development of beneficial bacteria, along with soluble fiber FOS to support a healthy digestive system. The whey protein, rich in Alpha-lactalbumin, and 4 billion probiotics BB-12TM aid in easy digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
- Supports brain development in infants with an additional 20% DHA supplementation derived from algae, supporting brain development and meeting the daily recommended intake by World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) experts. The DHA content in Optimum Gold 1 ensures 0.1 – 0.18% energy supply compared to the daily energy requirement recommended by FAO/WHO 2010 for infants aged 0-6 months.
- Boosts immunity and height for infants by providing essential vitamins, minerals like A, D3, C, Zinc, Selenium, and Nucleotide mix to enhance immunity and support the child's immune system. The product is also rich in Vitamin D and Calcium with a suitable Calcium & Phosphorus ratio (Ca:P) for proper bone development and height growth.
- Mild, creamy, and palatable milk flavor for easy consumption.

Disadvantages of Vinamilk Optimum Gold 1 Formula Milk
- While Optimum Gold 1 is cheaper than imported milk, it is still relatively higher in price compared to other domestic milk types.
- Despite its mild taste, easy drinkability, attractive appearance, and good digestion, some babies may dislike it due to its slightly tangy odor. The milk's aftertaste may persist even after rinsing the bottle.
Does Optimum Gold 1 Formula Milk Help in Weight Gain for Infants?
According to the majority of Vietnamese breastfeeding mothers' evaluations, infants consuming Optimum 1 experience steady and uniform weight gain, without constipation or daily hygiene issues. However, some mothers express the view that while Optimum Gold contributes to weight gain, it may not be as effective as specialized weight gain products from Nestle, Abbott, or nutrition institutes. Mothers should carefully consider this aspect, as each baby has a unique physique and preferences, making the final decision solely in the hands of the mothers.
