Description

Neocate Gold is a specialized infant formula designed for infants from birth to 12 months who have specific dietary needs due to severe allergies or other medical conditions. This amino acid-based formula is crafted to support infants with cow’s milk protein allergy, multiple food protein allergies, or eosinophilic oesophagitis, providing a safe and effective nutritional solution.

Key Features

• Hypoallergenic: Neocate Gold is free from milk and soy proteins, making it suitable for infants with severe allergies. Its protein source is derived from free amino acids, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.

• Nutritionally Complete: This formula is designed to serve as a sole source of nutrition, offering all essential nutrients required for healthy growth and development in infants under one year.

• Inclusion of DHA & ARA: These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids support visual and cognitive development.

• Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT): Comprising 33% of the total fat content, MCTs are included to aid in easier digestion and absorption.

Usage Instructions

Neocate Gold is intended for use under medical supervision and can be administered orally or via tube feeding. It is crucial to follow preparation guidelines closely:

• Mixing Ratio: Use 4.6g of powder per 30mL of water.
• Preparation: Utilize sterilized bottles and cooled, boiled water. Avoid using automated formula prep machines.
• Storage: Keep prepared formula at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Packaging and Storage

Neocate Gold is available in a 400g can. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. Once opened, the product should be resealed and used within one month. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures to maintain quality.

Important Considerations

This formula is not intended to replace breast milk but can be used when breastfeeding is not feasible. In Australia, it is available on the PBS, and in New Zealand, it is fully funded by PHARMAC with a prescription. Always ensure that Neocate Gold is used under the guidance of a healthcare professional to meet the specific dietary needs of your infant effectively.
