Enfamil PurAmino Jr Amino Acid Medical Food Powder | Children 1+ | 14.1 oz

Managing a child with severe cow's milk protein allergy, FPIES, or multiple food protein intolerances past infancy means finding nutrition that is simultaneously safe, complete, and practical. Enfamil PurAmino Jr™ is an unflavored, amino acid-based medical food powder designed specifically for children beyond 12 months — delivering elemental nutrition from the ground up with zero intact proteins and zero risk of protein-triggered allergic responses. When hydrolyzed formulas aren't enough, PurAmino Jr is the next clinical step.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Free Amino Acid Protein — Truly Elemental: No intact or hydrolyzed proteins whatsoever — eliminating virtually all allergenic protein triggers for the most medically complex food-allergic children.
• Designed for Children Beyond Infancy: Specifically formulated for the caloric, protein, and micronutrient needs of children ages 1 and older who still require amino acid-based nutrition.
• Unflavored for Maximum Versatility: Neutral taste allows for oral feeding directly, blending into foods, or enteral tube feeding via NG or G-tube without flavor interference.
• Indicated for Multiple Complex Diagnoses: Recommended for severe CMPA, FPIES, EoE, short bowel syndrome, and malabsorptive conditions where even extensively hydrolyzed formulas have failed.
• Nutritionally Complete Medical Food: Provides all essential macro and micronutrients needed for healthy growth and development as a sole or supplemental nutrition source under medical supervision.
• Multi-Pack Pricing: 1-can, 2-pack, and 4-pack configurations available.

What is the difference between Enfamil PurAmino and Enfamil PurAmino Jr?

Enfamil PurAmino is formulated for infants ages 0–12 months. PurAmino Jr is designed for children 1 year and older, adjusting the caloric density, protein levels, and micronutrient ratios to meet the developmental demands of toddlers and older children while maintaining the same 100% free amino acid base.

Is Enfamil PurAmino Jr the same as Enfamil PurAmino Infant?

No. While both use 100% free amino acid protein, PurAmino Jr is nutritionally calibrated for children 12 months and older. Using the infant version for a toddler — or vice versa — results in an improper nutrient balance for that stage of development.

Can Enfamil PurAmino Jr be used for tube feeding?

Yes. PurAmino Jr's unflavored formulation is compatible with enteral tube feeding via NG or G-tube. Confirm feeding volumes and rate with your child's clinical dietitian before initiating.
