Neocate Infant DHA/ARA Powder 400g is a hypoallergenic, amino acid-based infant formula from Nutricia, developed for the dietary management of infants with cow's milk allergy, multiple food allergies and related gastrointestinal conditions. It uses 100% free amino acids as its protein source, with added DHA, ARA and nucleotides, and is intended for use only under medical supervision for babies from birth.

Why It's Suitable for Allergic Infants

Standard formulas contain intact cow's milk proteins that can trigger reactions in sensitive babies. Neocate Infant replaces these with individual free amino acids, the simplest form of protein, which removes the protein fragments that the immune system reacts to. This makes it appropriate for infants who cannot tolerate cow's milk, soy or other food proteins, and it is made in a dedicated, fully dairy-protein-free facility to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

Safety Information

Neocate Infant DHA/ARA is a specially formulated medical food and should only be used under medical supervision. Always consult your pediatrician or dietitian before starting, stopping or changing your baby's diet, and follow their advice on suitability and quantity. Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature or immune-compromised infants unless directed by a doctor. Carefully following the preparation, use and storage instructions is essential for your baby's health. Keep out of reach of children and store as directed.
