I-Valex-1 Infant formula with amino acid-modified helps young children with leucine catabolism disorders.
Features
- Halal, Gluten-free, Non-GMO and Lactose-free.
- 6.6% of energy as linoleic acid.
- Leucine-free to allow greater intake of intact protein.
- Nutrient profile specifically designed for infants and toddlers.
- DHA and ARA to help support brain and eye development.
- Isoleucine and valine help prevent deficiency of these amino acids.
- Approximately 40% of energy as fat to help achieve acceptable formula osmolality.
- Glycine (1000 mg/100 g) binds with acyl groups and helps enhance their excretion in a nontoxic form.
- When fed according to the Abbott Nutrition Support Protocols, provides adequate amounts of all nutrients.
- L-carnitine (900 mg/100 g) helps supply the amount normally found in human milk and foods of animal origin and to help excrete toxic metabolites.
Precautions:
- Not for IV use.
- Not intended as a sole source of nutrition.
- Do not boil the mixture or use terminal sterilization.
- Never use a microwave oven to warm the formula. Serious burns can result.
- Give only to infants and toddlers with proven disorders of leucine catabolism who are under medical supervision.
- Must be supplemented with protein and fluid in prescribed amounts to completely meet leucine and water requirements.
- 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.
