Rockville Md., November 22, 2011 — The first and only flavored amino acid-based medical food with soluble prebiotic fiber for children with GI conditions is being launched by Nutricia North America, a manufacturer of medical foods and specialized nutrition products. Neocate® Junior with Prebiotics, Vanilla is designed to improve compliance, fight flavor fatigue and provide digestive support for a balanced gut for many children who suffer from milk or soy allergies, multiple food allergies or allergy-induced gastrointestinal disorders.
“Children with milk and other food allergies must avoid foods that contain whole proteins found in many foods – from milk to chicken to ice cream – so they have to stick to strict diets of only a handful of safe foods,” says Steven Yannicelli, Ph.D., R.D., vice president of medical and scientific affairs for Nutricia North America. “Fortunately, medical foods like Vanilla Neocate Junior with Prebiotics, allow these children to get the nutrition they need while adding a delicious taste and variety to their diet.”
Just like Neocate® Junior, Chocolate and Neocate® Junior, Tropical, Neocate Junior with Prebiotics, Vanilla is an aspartame-free, hypoallergenic and nutritionally complete medical food for children over the age of one.
Vanilla flavored Neocate Junior with Prebiotics will help:
- Deliver essential nutrients needed for healthy growth and development.
- Provide digestive support that children need for a healthy gut.
- Reduce incidences of diarrhea, constipation and vomiting.
Children who required specialized medical food like Neocate Junior should be under the care of a healthcare professional.
