Frequently asked questions
Is this formula truly hypoallergenic?
Yes, PurAmino Jr is a hypoallergenic, amino acid-based medical food. Because it utilizes an amino acid profile rather than intact proteins, it effectively bypasses common triggers for children with severe cow’s milk protein allergies and multiple food protein sensitivities.
Can this be used for tube feeding?
Absolutely. PurAmino Jr is designed for versatile administration and is clinically appropriate for both:
- Oral consumption
- Tube feeding
This provides flexibility for diverse care settings and individual dietary needs.
Does it provide complete daily nutrition?
Yes, it is a nutritionally complete formula for children ages 1 and up. It is iron-fortified and contains DHA, which is expert-recommended to support healthy development in children.
What health conditions is this formula designed for?
PurAmino Jr is intended for children managing complex gastrointestinal and allergic conditions, including:
- Severe cow’s milk protein allergies
- Multiple food protein allergies
- Eosinophilic esophagitis
- Short bowel syndrome
- Malabsorption and protein maldigestion
What are the primary ingredients in this formula?

Is this suitable for my one-year-old?
Yes, PurAmino Jr is specifically formulated for children ages 1 year and up. It is an ideal solution for those who cannot tolerate standard or extensively hydrolyzed formulas.
Why is an amino acid-based formula preferred?
Amino acid-based formulas are considered elemental diets. They are the most broken-down form of protein available, which removes the risk of allergic reactions that can occur with intact or partially broken-down proteins found in standard or hydrolyzed formulas.
Does this formula have a strong taste?
This version is unflavored. This makes it highly versatile for clinical use, as it can be easily integrated into a specialized diet plan without adding unwanted sweetness or flavor profiles.
Is this considered a professional medical food?
Yes, PurAmino Jr is classified as a medical food. It is intended to be used under the supervision and direction of a healthcare professional for the dietary management of specific pediatric conditions.
