Instructions for Use: Use Only As Directed by a Physician

Your baby’s health depends on following preparation directions precisely. Proper hygiene, handling, and storage are essential to maintain formula safety and nutrition. Ask your healthcare provider if you need to use cooled, boiled water and whether bottles, nipples, and rings should be sterilized before use.

• Wash hands, surfaces, and utensils thoroughly.
• Pour the prescribed amount of water into a clean container.
• Add the directed amount of I-Valex-1 powder (and other prescribed ingredients if required).
• Shake well for 10–15 seconds, or if blending, mix for no more than 5 seconds.
• Transfer the mixture into clean bottles or feeding containers and seal tightly.
• Use within 1 hour of feeding start time; discard any unused formula after this period.

• Not intended to be used as the sole source of nutrition.
• Do not boil the prepared mixture or use terminal sterilization methods.
• Never use a microwave to warm the formula, as it can cause severe burns.
• Use only under medical supervision for infants or toddlers with diagnosed leucine catabolism disorders.
• Must be supplemented with additional protein and fluids as prescribed to meet total leucine and hydration needs.
• Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be given to premature or immunocompromised infants unless advised by a healthcare professional.
