In New Zealand, Australia, and Asia we also know that mothers are purchasing it for their growing kids (1 year old and above). Deer Milk is well suited to support the nutritional needs of children aged 1-3 whose diets are lacking in energy and nutrients. Pāmu Deer Milk is a whole milk powder, therefore not suitable for infants.

Answer: Pāmu Deer Milk is like other animal milks (cow, sheep, goat), the main difference being the nutritional values. Pāmu have completed over 280 nutritional tests on our deer milk powder which then informs the Nutritional Information Panel (NIP) found on the back of pack. The NIP then informs recommended serving sizes for different ages (based on advice from registered dietician, and the Food Safety Australia New Zealand standards). Based on New Zealand standards, for children this is max 100ml per day, and 200ml per day for adults.
