Description
Extensive HA® — Hypoallergenic Infant Formula for Sensitive Babies
Extensive HA® is a specialized infant formula designed for babies (0–12 months) with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA), intolerance, or other sensitivities. It combines advanced nutrition science with digestive support to help infants thrive when standard formulas aren’t tolerated.
Key Features & Benefits
- 100% whey protein, extensively hydrolyzed — proteins are broken down into very small fragments to reduce allergenic potential and improve tolerance.
- Clinically proven hypoallergenic — meets rigorous standards for hypoallergenicity and supports appropriate infant growth.
- Probiotic Bifidobacterium lactis (B. lactis) — helps support digestive and immune health.
- High MCT content — ~49% of fat comes from medium-chain triglycerides to aid absorption in infants with fat digestion challenges.
- Lactose- and sucrose-free carbohydrate blend — reduces risk of intolerance or gas associated with sugar modes of entry.
- Balanced, nutritionally complete formula — supplies the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients needed for infant growth.
- Non-GMO ingredients, no artificial growth hormones, osmolality tuned for digestive tolerance (~220 mOsm/kg).
Usage & Important Notes
- Use only under medical supervision — as a medical nutrition product, it must be prescribed by a pediatrician or dietitian.
- Feeding stage: intended for infants from birth through 12 months.
- Follow preparation, storage, and handling instructions closely — incorrect preparation can cause nutrient imbalance or health risks.
- Once opened, consume within the timeframe recommended on the label.
When & Why to Use
Extensive HA® is intended for infants who:
- Have diagnosed or suspected cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA)
- Exhibit food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) from cow’s milk protein
- Have soy protein sensitivity or fat malabsorption requiring more digestible nutrition.
