Information for Healthcare Professionals:
- Neocate Syneo Infant can be given orally or by feeding tube. Not for parenteral use.
- Neocate Syneo Infant is not recommended for use in infants with a central venous catheter or post-pyloric feeding tube unless directed or supervised by a healthcare professional.
- Tube feeding hang time: Nutricia recommends formula can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours, at which time unused formula should be discarded.
- All scoops should be measured and unpacked. Use a scale that measures in grams for the most accurate results. Household measures are not recommended for measuring powdered Nutricia products.
The first and only hypoallergenic infant formula to contain a unique synbiotic blend of prebiotics and probiotics, specifically designed to support infants with food allergies. Neocate Syneo Infant is specially formulated for the dietary management of infants with cow milk allergy, multiple food allergies, and related GI and allergic conditions, including eosinophilic GI disorders (EGIDs), food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) related to food allergies. Clinically shown to address the gut dysbiosis seen in infants with food allergies, this innovative formula contains a probiotic originally found in the microbiota of a healthy infant and a prebiotic blend modeled after the oligosaccharides in human milk. Neocate Syneo Infant is backed by 3 clinical trials to be hypoallergenic, support growth, and to help balance the gut microbiota of infants with food allergies to be closer to that of healthy, breastfed infants.
Growth in healthy infants & hypoallergenicity studies:1
Purposes: [1] To assess the hypoallergenicity of Neocate with synbiotics in IgE-mediated cow milk allergy, [2] To evaluate growth outcomes and formula tolerance in healthy infants fed Neocate with synbiotics. Methodology: [1] Thirty infants & children with IgE-mediated cow milk allergy used Neocate with synbiotics followed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. [2] Healthy infants (0-15 days) were randomly assigned to receive a control amino acid-based formula or Neocate with synbiotics for 16 weeks. (n=115) Results/Conclusion: [1] This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe, well-tolerated and hypoallergenic according to American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. [2] This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe, well tolerated and promotes normal growth when fed to healthy infants.
Growth in infants with cow milk allergy study:2
Purpose: To evaluate growth outcomes and formula tolerance in infants with IgE- or non-IgE-mediated cow milk allergy fed Neocate with synbiotics. Methodology: Infants with cow milk allergy were randomly assigned to receive Neocate with synbiotics or a control formula (Neocate® Infant DHA/ARA) for 16 weeks. (n=110) Results/Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe and promotes normal growth in infants with cow milk allergy.
Gut microbiota dysbiosis study:3
Purpose:To determine whether Neocate Syneo Infant will improve the developing gut microbiota in infant subjects with cow milk allergy relative to a standard amino acid-based formula and healthy, breastfed infants. Methodology: Infants with non-IgE-mediated cow milk allergy were randomized to receive a control amino acid-based formula or Neocate Syneo Infant for 8 weeks. A healthy breastfed reference group was also included. Results/Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Neocate Syneo Infant helps balance the gut microbiota of infants with cow milk allergy, bringing it closer to that seen in age-matched, healthy breastfed infants (figures available).
Infants after 8 weeks of management with standard amino acid-based formula (control) or amino acid-based formula with pre- and probiotics (test) compared to age-matched, healthy, breastfed infants. At 8 weeks, levels of both bifidobacteria and Eubacterium rectale + Clostridium coccoides group were measured as a percentage of total fecal bacteria. Test group median levels were different than control group (p<0.001), and were closer to breastfed infant levels vs. control group.3
