Frequently asked questions
Is this formula suitable for severe food allergies?
Yes. Alfamino is an amino acid-based formula, which is the gold standard for infants with severe sensitivities. By using individual amino acids rather than intact proteins, it eliminates the risk of allergic reactions to milk or other dietary proteins.
How does this formula support sensitive digestive systems?
The formula includes a specialized fat blend where 43% consists of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). This high-quality fat profile is specifically designed to facilitate easier and more efficient nutrient absorption in infants with compromised or sensitive GI tracts.
Is this a nutritionally complete option for growth?
Absolutely. Despite being a highly specialized medical-grade formula, it is nutritionally complete. It is expertly engineered to provide all the essential nutrients and calories necessary to promote healthy growth and development in infants from birth up to 12 months.
Does this formula meet strict hypoallergenic criteria?
Yes. It is clinically proven to meet the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) criteria for hypoallergenic formulas, ensuring it provides a safe and reliable solution for infants managing conditions like cow’s milk protein allergy or eosinophilic GI disorders.
Must a doctor supervise my baby's use of this?
Yes, due to its specialized medical nature, this product must be used under the direct guidance of a healthcare professional. Your pediatrician or nutritionist will help monitor your infant’s specific needs and ensure this formula is the appropriate choice for their health profile.
Is the fat in this formula easy to digest?
Yes, the formula is specifically formulated with 43% MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides). MCTs are structurally easier for the infant’s body to break down and absorb compared to long-chain fats, making it ideal for babies with malabsorptive conditions.
What conditions is this formula intended to manage?
Alfamino is designed for infants struggling with complex dietary challenges, including: <ul><li>Cow’s milk protein allergy</li><li>Multiple food protein allergies</li><li>Eosinophilic GI disorders</li><li>Short bowel syndrome</li><li>General malabsorptive conditions</li></ul>
Does it contain essential nutrients like DHA and ARA?
Yes. Alfamino includes DHA and ARA, which are critical fatty acids found in breast milk that support healthy brain and eye development, ensuring your infant does not miss out on vital developmental nutrients.
How much energy does each serving provide?
Each serving of this formula provides 150 calories, formulated to support the high energy demands required for proper infant growth and weight gain.
Where is this specialized formula manufactured?
This product is produced in Switzerland, adhering to rigorous medical manufacturing standards to ensure the highest quality for your infant’s nutritional needs.
