Introducing EleCare®

EleCare is an amino acid-based formula (AAF), which means that is made from the tiny building blocks of protein (amino acids), which are not recognised by the body and will not cause allergic reactions in any infants with cow’s milk allergy (CMA).1

EleCare is prescribed for infants with severe CMA and/or multiple food allergies, and other conditions where an AAF is clinically indicated (e.g. short bowel syndrome). EleCare can be started from birth (no need to switch at 6 months).

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breastfeeding is best for infants and is recommended for as long as possible during infancy. Alimentum and EleCare are infant formulas for special medical purposes and should only be used under the recommendation or guidance of a healthcare professional.

*The 2'-FL (2'-fucosyllactose) used in this formula is biosynthesised and structurally identical to the human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) 2'-FL, found in most mothers' breast milk.4
†Findings from the 2019 EleCare parent survey in infants fed standard EleCare formula without 2’-FL. 168 parents were asked if they agreed with the statement: “EleCare resolved my infant/child’s symptoms fast”. 89% of parents had a response of “strongly agree”, “agree”, and “somewhat agree” (n=150/168).3
