What is it and what is it used for? It is a follow-on milk manufactured by the Novalac brand. It is made from cows milk. However, its formula modifies the protein content and adds other components (vitamins, fatty acids and minerals). Pediatric experts say that breastfeeding is ideal for infants. However, they also recognize that breastfeeding can be beneficial for a babys development and growth. In addition, they recommend combining breastfeeding with a varied diet. The formula contains a blend of essential vitamins for nutrition (C, E, niacin, D, A, B6, K, B12, riboflavin, folic acid, among others). Vitamin D promotes the proper functioning of the skeletal system, as well as teeth and nails. Vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron from food. It also contributes to proper intestinal function. This component is believed to have protective properties for the immune system, as it helps prevent respiratory infections. Who is it for?
