EleCare , by Similac, is the first amino acid-based infant Food for Special Medical Purposes (iFSMP) in the UK containing synthesised 2Ÿ??-FL*. EleCare has been specially formulated for the management of infants with moderate to severe cowŸ??s milk allergy (CMA), multiple food allergies, and/or those requiring an elemental diet.

Breast milk is the gold standard providing not only nutrition, but protection and support for the developing immune system,1-3 which is critical, particularly in the first year of life.4 However, not every infant with allergies can be breastfed and a number of families depend on hypoallergenic formula.

HMOs are a diverse group of bioactive, non-digestible carbohydrates and the third most abundant solid component of breast milk.5,6 Breast milk contains many distinct HMOs, which have a positive effect on gut microbiota and play an important role systemically in supporting the developing immune system.5-8

Following >18 years of extensive research into HMOs, Abbott has found that 2Ÿ??-FL* is the most abundant HMO in motherŸ??s milk, and we are delighted to be the first and only manufacturer in the UK to add 2Ÿ??-FL* to an amino acid-based formula.

With EleCare you can:

Help support the immune needs of infants with CMA in the gut and beyond**9-11
