    Nutramigen® with Enflora™ LGG®*

    Hypoallergenic formula with extensively hydrolyzed protein and LGG probiotic for infants with food allergies including cow’s milk allergy

    *LGG is a registered trademark of Chr. Hansen A/S.

    Indication

    Nutramigen with Enflora LGG is a 20 Cal/fl oz, iron-fortified, lactose-free, hypoallergenic infant formula designed for infants who have food allergies including cow’s milk allergy. Nutramigen with Enflora LGG has extensively hydrolyzed casein protein to help avoid an immune system response by reducing the allergen exposure, and the probiotic branded LGG to help support the strength of the intestinal barrier and support digestive health.

    Product long term usage

    In cases of continued food allergies or intolerances, Nutramigen with Enflora LGG is sometimes used as a milk substitute in the diet of children beyond 12 months of age. When Nutramigen is used as a milk substitute beyond 12 months of age, the total calcium content of the diet should be assessed.

    Extended use of Nutramigen with Enflora LGG (or other infant formulas) as a sole source of diet is most appropriately monitored by physicians and nutritionists on a case-by-case basis.

    A baby’s health depends on carefully following the instructions below. Use only as directed by a medical professional. Proper hygiene, preparation, dilution, use and storage are important when preparing infant formula. Powdered infant formulas are not sterile and should not be fed to premature infants or infants who might have immune problems unless directed and supervised by a doctor. Discuss with parents which formula is appropriate for the baby.

    Discuss with parents whether they need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and whether they need to boil clean utensils, bottles and nipples in water before use.

    WARNING: Do not use a microwave oven to warm formula. Serious burns may result.

    Refer to the product label for the most accurate information.

    Failure to follow these instructions could result in severe harm. Once prepared, infant formula can spoil quickly. Either feed immediately or cover and store in refrigerator at 35–40°F (2–4°C) for no longer than 24 hours. Do not use prepared formula if it is unrefrigerated for more than a total of 2 hours. Do not freeze prepared formula. After feeding begins, use formula within 1 hour or discard.

    Powder Storage: Store cans at room temperature. After opening can, keep tightly covered, store in dry area and use contents within 1 month. Do not freeze powder and avoid excessive heat. This product does not look or taste like milk or soy formulas. It may separate in the refrigerator. Shake well before feeding.

    1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before preparing formula.
    2. Pour the desired amount of water into the bottle. Add powder.
    3. Cap bottle and SHAKE WELL.

    Use the chart below for correct amounts of water and powder. Use scoop in can to measure powder. Store DRY scoop in its original can.

    Fast on GI health

    • 0% occult blood in stool after 4 weeks of feeding2

    Fast return to milk protein

    • Helps infants consume milk protein without an allergic reaction in as little as 6 months of feeding3

    Nutramigen LGG is the only formula with a published study showing the reduction in the incidence of allergic manifestations like asthma and eczema†4

    Additional product features:

    • Hypoallergenic protein source (extensively hydrolyzed casein)
    • Nutramigen with Enflora LGG works fast and is clinically proven to:
      • Start to manage colic due to cow's milk allergy in as early as the first feeding, with 90% of infants improving within 48 hours2,*
      • Result in 0% blood in stool after 4 weeks of feeding3
      • Help infants consume milk protein without an allergic response in as early as 6 months of feeding4
    • Helps reduce the likelihood of other allergic manifestations at 3 years of age5,†
    • Contains the probiotic brand LGG:
      • LGG promotes a healthy GI and immune system by supporting a balanced immune response, colonizing the infant's gut to support a healthy microflora and promoting normal gut barrier function
    • DHA and ARA to support brain and eye development6-13
      • DHA at the clinically proven‡ amount of 0.32% of total fatty acids, the same amount as the worldwide breast milk average14,§, and double the amount found in the leading competitor's product||
    • Nutramigen protein clinically researched in over 75 studies†
    • Lactose-free
    • Has no sucrose as a carbohydrate source
    • No artificial growth hormones#

    * Some studies were prior to the addition of DHA, ARA and LGG.
    † Rhinoconjunctivitis, urticaria, eczema and asthma at 3 years compared to Nutramigen without LGG. Feeding began at 4 months or older in the study.
    ‡ Studies compared infants fed Enfamil® with DHA and ARA vs. discontinued Enfamil without DHA and ARA; studied before the addition of prebiotics.
    § Average amount of DHA in worldwide breast milk is 0.32% ± 0.22% (mean ± standard deviation of total fatty acids) based on an analysis of 65 studies of 2,474 women13.
    || Nutramigen with Enflora LGG has not been shown superior to the leading competitor in promoting brain and eye development. The level of DHA in Similac Pro-Advance™ is ~0.15% of total fatty acids.
    When hereditary fructose intolerance is a concern.
    # No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rbST-treated and non-rbST-treated cows.

    A deeper look at how Nutramigen LGG can change outcomes for infants with food allergies

    Infants with food allergies are up to 4x more likely to exhibit other allergies as they grow4

    In a study evaluating the occurrence of allergic manifestations in babies with CMA, 46% experienced eczema, hives, asthma, and nasal allergies at a 3-year follow-up.*4

    ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CMA POSITIVELY IMPACTS THE ALLERGIC MARCH

    Watch to gain a deeper understanding of CMA, the allergic march, and how active management with Nutramigen LGG can change outcomes for infants with food allergies.
