FAQ
What does 'hypoallergenic' mean for this formula?
It means the cow's milk proteins are extensively broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces that are far less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in sensitive infants.
Why is the powder not reconstituted?
This is the dry, shelf-stable form. It must be mixed with water according to precise instructions to create the liquid formula, ensuring the correct nutrient concentration.
What is the role of iron in this formula?
Iron is a critical nutrient added to support healthy brain development, cognitive function, and the prevention of iron-deficiency anemia in infants.
