Bonjour! Noticed changes in your child’s bowel habits?
Constipation isn’t just about frequency—it involves six key symptoms, including pain during defecation and blood in the stools. These symptoms can lead to stool withholding, worsening the cycle and resulting in harder, drier stools over time.
To assess whether your child may have functional constipation, take our quick diagnostic test for a preliminary evaluation. Early detection leads to better management.

What is constipation?
Constipation involves infrequent, difficult, painful or incomplete evacuation of hard stools
It should not based on stool frequency alone, but also stool consistency/associated pain or struggle during defecation/ soiling of underwear.

Why constipation need to be resolved immediately?
Prolonged constipation may affect your child’s concentration, ability to focus and sleep quality.
Constipation often causes bloating and may lead to loss of appetite.
Constipation slows down the peristaltic action within intestines causing food matter to gets stuck and blocked good absorption of nutrients. In chronic cases, this may cause malnutrition. Over time, the lack of nutrients and the build-up of food matter will weaken the immune system, making patients more susceptible to viruses.
Why is Novamil KID IT different
Novamil KID IT uses nutrients and not medicine to manage constipation.
Eases digestion through a protein ratio of 60% Whey : 40% Casein
The protein blend imitates the balanced protein composition found naturally to support easier digestion and effective nutrient utilization. Whey, which digests rapidly, optimizes stool output and speed. On another hand, casein provides a slow release of protein over time, allowing the small intestine to absorb and avoid tummy upset.
Stimulates intestinal movement with 60% higher in Milk Carbohydrates*
Milk carbohydrates in the large intestine draw in water, which in turn promote peristaltic
contractions, creating an osmotic push for the stools to be excreted easily.
*Compared to Novalac Novamill Standard Formula Milk Powder.
45% higher in magnesium to increase the water content of the stool
Magnesium, a natural laxative, helps promote gut motility without the need for synthetic or pharmaceutical interventions. It works by drawing water into the intestines, which softens the stool and helps to avoid painful bowel movements.
Contains a golden ratio of calcium and phosphorus 2:1 to prevent hard stool
Maintaining a proper calcium-to-phosphorus ratio helps to keep stool adequately hydrated and prevent the discomfort of hard stool. Too much calcium and too little phosphorus might result in dehydration of the stool, making it harder and more difficult to pass.

My boy have tried this Novamil IT and I found that his stool really become soften and more easy to “poo poo”. Sometimes he will cried and said stomachache or bottom pain, it is because of the hard stool. After consume Novamil KID IT, it really helps in this issue.

与我一起生活的小孙子一直面对着便秘的问题，尝试了不同品牌的奶粉，但都是一直维持2-3天排便的症状。可怜的孩子每次都因这而哭惨了，这并不是我们乐意见到的情况。这奶粉很温和，孩子连续喝了一星期之后，每天都能有规律地便便了。除此之外，我们也不必担心营养素方面的问题，因为Novamil KID IT 提供了均衡的营养素包含有必需脂肪酸及26种维生素和矿物质，让孩子都能在精神和身体方面健康成长。很棒的奶粉产品，定会继续给他饮用！
