Similac Alimentum Advance - Protein Hydrolysate Formula with Iron - 8 oz cans

Usage of Similac Alimentum Advance: Similac Advance works as a nutritionally complete hypoallergenic formula for infants and as a supplemental beverage for children with severe food allergies, sensitivity to intact protein (including colic due to protein sensitivity), protein maldigestion or fat malabsorption. Similac Alimentum contains predigested protein (casein hydrolysate) to minimize allergenicity and an easily digested and absorbed fat blend.

Features of Similac Advance

• Clinically shown to reduce the symptoms of colic due to protein sensitivity.
• Clinically shown to be well tolerated in infants with protein-induced colitis.
• Hypoallergenic to minimize potential for allergic reaction.
• Hydrolyzed casein supplemented with free amino acids for infants who are sensitive to or unable to digest intact protein.
• A blend of two carbohydrates using two absorptive pathways to maximize absorption and minimize risk of malabsorption.
• Lactose-free carbohydrate to avoid lactose-associated diarrhea.
• Ready To Feed formula is corn-free.
• Contains oils that have been shown to be well absorbed. Approximately 33% of the fat as medium-chain triglycerides.
