Novalac AC 400g is a specialised anti-colic infant formula designed to ease colic, gas, and bloating in babies from birth to 12 months. Formulated by Novalac with a reduced-lactose carbohydrate profile, this iron-fortified milk powder helps limit colonic fermentation of lactose, a common cause of infant gas and crying spells. Novalac AC is a nutritionally complete formula and can replace a standard infant formula under medical supervision, providing balanced nutrition while being gentle on a sensitive tummy.

Why It Works

Many colic episodes are linked to undigested lactose reaching the colon, where it ferments and produces gas, bloating, and abdominal discomfort. Novalac AC uses an adapted carbohydrate composition with reduced lactose to limit this fermentation in the colon. Clinical positioning by Novalac frames AC as an evidence-based specialty formula. The result is a formula intended to reduce the frequency and duration of crying caused by colic while still delivering complete infant nutrition with iron, DHA, vitamins, and minerals for healthy growth.
