Alfamino Junior Amino Acid Hypoallergenic Formula | Children 1+ | Nestlé

When a child with severe food allergies or malabsorptive conditions ages out of infant formula, finding a safe, effective pediatric replacement can feel impossible. Alfamino® Junior by Nestlé Health Science is a hypoallergenic, 100% amino acid-based powder formula specifically designed for children 1 year and older — providing complete nutrition with zero intact or hydrolyzed proteins that could trigger an allergic response. For the child who has tried everything else, this is the clinical-grade solution.

What is the difference between Alfamino Junior and Neocate Junior?

Both are 100% amino acid-based hypoallergenic formulas for children 1+, but they differ in their amino acid profiles, fat blends, osmolality, and additional ingredients. Neocate Junior includes prebiotics while Alfamino Junior does not. The right choice depends on your child's specific diagnosis and specialist recommendation.

Is Alfamino Junior suitable for tube feeding?

Yes. The unflavored formulation is compatible with enteral tube feeding via NG or G-tube. Its osmolality and viscosity are designed to be well-tolerated for children requiring tube-based nutritional delivery.

Can Alfamino Junior be used for a child who was previously on Alfamino Infant?

Yes — Alfamino Junior is the natural next step for children successfully managed on Alfamino Infant who are now 12 months or older, re-balanced for toddler and older child nutrient needs while maintaining the same elemental amino acid base.
