💡 What's interesting

Its unique aspect is that it's a 'medical food' engineered to be easily digestible and absorbable, often for children with specific metabolic or gastrointestinal conditions. The protein is frequently broken down (hydrolyzed) to reduce the risk of allergic reactions and improve tolerance.
