Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA Hypoallergenic Amino Acid Formula | 14.1 oz

When your infant has severe food allergies and needs elemental nutrition, not all amino acid formulas are equal. Neocate® Infant with DHA & ARA takes the trusted 100% free amino acid base that allergists rely on and adds the critical brain-building nutrients DHA and ARA alongside nucleotides — supporting healthy neurological and immune development even in the most medically complex infants. It's hypoallergenic nutrition that never shortchanges your baby's development while keeping them safe from allergic triggers.

Key Features & Benefits

• 100% Free Amino Acid Protein — Zero Allergenic Proteins: Contains no intact or hydrolyzed proteins of any kind — making it safe for infants with the most severe cow's milk protein allergy, FPIES, EoE, and multiple food protein intolerances.
• Added DHA & ARA for Brain & Eye Development: DHA and ARA are essential fatty acids that support neurological and visual development — critical nutrients maintained even in this elemental formula.
• Nucleotides for Immune Support: Building blocks naturally found in breast milk that support healthy immune system function and gut development — a differentiating feature rarely found in competing amino acid-based infant formulas.
• Nutritionally Complete for 0–12 Months: Designed as a sole-source or supplemental formula for the entire first year, covering all essential vitamins, minerals, and macronutrient needs.
• Suitable for Tube Feeding: Compatible with enteral tube delivery via NG or G-tube — making it a versatile option for medically complex infants who cannot feed orally.
• Single Can, 2-Pack & 4-Pack Options: Trial-friendly or commit to multi-pack savings for families managing ongoing medical feeding plans.

What is the difference between Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA and Neocate Syneo Infant?

Both are 100% amino acid-based hypoallergenic infant formulas, but Neocate Syneo Infant adds a synbiotic blend of prebiotics and probiotics for gut microbiome support. Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA focuses on the essential fatty acids and nucleotides without the pre/probiotic component. Your allergist or GI specialist will recommend the best formulation for your baby's specific diagnosis.

Is Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA the same as EleCare or Enfamil PurAmino?

All three are 100% free amino acid elemental infant formulas, but they differ in fatty acid profiles, osmolality, nucleotide content, and manufacturing. Neocate is by Nutricia, EleCare by Abbott, and PurAmino by Enfamil. Some infants tolerate one brand better than another — always follow your specialist's recommendation.

Can Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA be used from birth?

Yes. Neocate Infant with DHA & ARA is designed for use from birth through 12 months as a sole-source or supplemental formula. It is nutritionally complete for all stages of the first year and appropriate from the earliest days of life when severe allergic conditions are diagnosed at birth.
