Nutramigen is a 20 cal/fl oz, iron-fortified, lactose-free, hypoallergenic infant formula designed for infants who have food allergies, including cow’s milk allergy. Nutramigen has extensively hydrolyzed casein protein to help avoid an immune response by reducing the allergen exposure.
Features
Nutramigen is clinically shown to quickly manage colic due to cow’s milk allergy

- The World Health Organization recommended amount of DHA is 0.2% - 0.36% of total fatty acids. Average DHA in worldwide breast milk is 0.32% ± 0.22% (mean ± standard deviation of total fatty acids) based on an analysis of 65 studies of 2,474 women.
Product Long Term Usage
Nutramigen is designed to provide a sole source of nutrition for infants up to age 6 months, and provide a major source of nutrition through 12 months of age. Normally, in feeding infants, gradual introduction of solid foods after 4-6 months of age is an important developmental as well as nutritional step.
In cases of severe and multiple food allergies or intolerances, Nutramigen is sometimes continued in the diet of children.
Extended use of Nutramigen as a sole source of nutrition should be used with medical supervision.
