Similac® Alimentum®

Features

A nutritionally complete, hypoallergenic formula for infants, including those with colic symptoms due to protein sensitivity. A supplemental beverage for children with severe food allergies, sensitivity to intact protein, protein maldigestion, or fat malabsorption.

Hypoallergenic; contains a predigested protein to virtually eliminate allergic reactions in most babies who are allergic to cow’s-milk protein

Hydrolyzed casein supplemented with free amino acids for infants who are sensitive to or unable to digest intact protein

DHA and ARA to help support brain and eye development

Starts reducing colic symptoms due to protein sensitivity in 24 hours in most infants¹^,^*

A unique blend of two carbohydrates using two absorptive pathways to help maximize absorption and minimize malabsorption risks

Lactose-free carbohydrate for lactose sensitivity

Ready To Feed formula is corn-free

Contains oils that have been shown to be well absorbed. Approximately 33% of the fat as medium chain triglycerides

Preparation

Hypo- and hypercaloric formulas should be used under the direction of a physician.
27 Cal/fl oz or more calorically dense formula may not supply enough water for some infants. Hydration status should be monitored and water supplied from other sources, if necessary.
For improved tolerance, it is best to increase caloric density slowly, by 2- to 4-Cal/fl oz increments.
Ready To Feed: Do not dilute.
Powder:
The following table shows the quantity of water to mix with the number of unpacked, level scoop(s) of Powder to arrive at the approximate caloric densities shown. Use only the scoop provided in the container.

To make a larger amount of formula at standard mixture (20 Cal/fl oz) using a standard measuring cup, add 1 unpacked, level cup (NOT the enclosed scoop) of powder (118 g) to 27 fl oz of water. Yields approximately 30 fl oz of formula. Prepared formula should not be left unrefrigerated. Use within 24 hours.
The contents of one 16-oz can (454 g), when mixed to standard dilution, will yield approximately 115 fl oz of formula.
