Features

• Has a unique blend of nucleotides to help support the developing immune system

• 3.3 g of protein/100 Cal, 10% more protein than comparable formulas

• Because it has 3.3 g of protein/100 Cal, less formula and powder modulars are needed to meet the protein needs of many preterm infants.^* No mixing needed.

• DHA and ARA, special nutrients found in breast milk shown to improve visual development in preterm infants

• Calcium and phosphorus at concentrations - and ratio (1.8:1) - that supports intrauterine accretion rates³

• Approximately 2 mg iron/kg body weight per day, when fed at 120 Cal/kg body weight per day

• Halal

• Kosher
