Features

First and only hypoallergenic extensively hydrolyzed casein-based infant formula with 2’-FL for immune support.

Starts reducing excessive crying due to cow's milk protein sensitivity in most infants within 24 hours.^*

Hypoallergenic; contains a predigested protein to virtually eliminate allergic reactions in most babies who are allergic to cow's-milk protein.

Hydrolyzed casein supplemented with free amino acids for infants who are sensitive to or unable to digest intact protein.

A unique blend of carbohydrates using two different absorptive pathways to help maximize absorption and minimize malabsorption risks.

Made with oils that have been shown to be well absorbed.¹ Approximately 33% of the fat as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).

DHA and ARA, special nutrients found in breast milk that are important for brain and eye development.^2,3,4

Suitable for lactose sensitivity.

Gluten-free.

Ready to feed formula is corn-free.

Precautions

Never use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns can result.

Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by your baby's doctor.
