Neocate® Syneo™ Infant
The first and only hypoallergenic formula with prebiotics and probiotics, specifically designed for food-allergic infants.
Neocate Syneo Infant is specially formulated for the dietary management of infants with cow milk allergy (CMA), multiple food allergies (MFA) and related GI and allergic conditions, including food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER). It's important to always contact a healthcare professional before making any changes to your baby's diet.
View Nutrition & IngredientsResearch shows that infants with cow milk allergy and multiple food allergies can have an imbalanced gut microbiota (otherwise known as dysbiosis) compared to healthy, breastfed infants. Only Neocate Syneo Infant contains Syneo™, a patented blend of both prebiotics and probiotics, backed by years of research, and designed to help support a balanced gut microbiota in food-allergic infants.
PREBIOTICS selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. Think of prebiotics as the food for probiotic microbes. Clinical evidence shows that prebiotics can have beneficial effects in infants with allergies or at risk of allergies.
The prebiotic blend in Neocate Syneo Infant is derived from a plant-based, non-dairy source and is a combination of short- and long-chain fructooligosaccharides.
PROBIOTICS are often called good or helpful bacteria. Beneficial bacteria are present in breast milk, as well as the gastrointestinal tract of all humans.
The probiotic in Neocate Syneo Infant is a specific strain of Bifidobacterium breve that has been extensively studied in infants. It is cultured using a dairy-free process that also does not use ingredients derived from other major food allergens, helping to ensure that it's safe for food-allergic infants.
Neocate Syneo Infant is backed by 3 clinical studies in infants. These studies demonstrate that Neocate Syneo Infant is well tolerated and supports normal growth. Neocate Syneo Infant has been shown to be hypoallergenic based on criteria developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) subcommittee on Nutrition and Allergic Diseases. Neocate Syneo Infant is made in the same dedicated 100% dairy protein-free environment as our other Neocate powdered products.
Amino acid-based formulas do not contain any intact protein chains and are made from the building blocks of protein, called amino acids.
The following instructions are also on the can of Neocate Syneo Infant. Proper hygiene, preparation, dilution and storage are important when preparing infant formula. We recommend cooled, boiled water for preparation and the use of sterilized bottles. Ask your baby's healthcare team if you need to use cooled, boiled water for mixing and if you need to boil (sterilize) bottles, nipples, and rings before use.
Do not boil formula and do not use a microwave oven to prepare or warm formula; serious burns may result.
Use only under medical supervision. Formula dilution will vary depending on the age, body weight and medical condition of the infant. Neocate Syneo Infant is suitable as a sole source of nutrition for infants under one year of age.
Infants usually adjust to a hypoallergenic formula and settle into a routine after a few days or weeks. The same may be true when adding prebiotics and/or probiotics to the diet - a gradual transition may help.
The research behind Neocate Syneo Infant suggests that there may be some initial changes in stool characteristics (e.g. color and consistency) during the early transition onto this product from a formula without pre- and probiotics. Stools may be softer, more like breastfed infants. In the first days/weeks of use, your baby may also have more gas or flatulence, which may cause some temporary discomfort or fussiness. Talk to your baby's doctor or other healthcare professional about the need to transition gradually onto Neocate Syneo Infant.
When a baby is on Neocate, the first stools tend to be green and can be dark - a lot of parents describe the color as hunter green (but contact your baby's doctor if the stool looks black, which could be blood in the stool). Green is completely normal (Green is Glorious!) and is due to the special composition of Neocate and the way it is digested and absorbed in the body.
For most babies on Neocate, the green color will last for at least the first few days. It may fade after several weeks, but for some little ones stools will be green as long as they're on Neocate. Often stools will change to a yellow/tan/khaki color if the green fades. This is normal, and is a result of the body adjusting to the way Neocate is digested and absorbed. Color can also change when solid foods are introduced into the diet.
The consistency of stools for babies on Neocate tends to be soft and somewhat pasty, though this can vary. For some babies the stools will be looser, and for others more solid or formed. Again, adding solid foods to the diet can affect consistency. Mucus in the stool is not typical so if you see this, you should let the physician know.
