The new launch of Isomil 2 Advance Follow-On!

For close to 40 years, Abbott has been providing a soy-protein formula solution for children with lactose-intolerance, allergies to regular cow's milk-based formulas or suffering from diarrhoea. A gentle formula containing nutrients to support mental and physical growth, Isomil Advance Follow-On is the No.1^* Soy protein formula with AA & DHA that is good for growth and kind to sensitive babies.

Now with the system of nutrients:

• Omega 3 & 6, AA & DHA - Building blocks of brain and eye development
• Iron and Taurine - To support overall mental development
• Choline - To support overall mental functioning

Supports growth just like milk-based formulas ¹

The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition stated that soy protein-based formulas are safe and effective alternatives to provide appropriate nutrition for normal growth and development.² A publication in the medical journal Clinical Pediatrics has shown that babies fed Isomil demonstrated similar weight, length and head circumference growth similar to cow’s milk formulas.

Weight, length and head circumference growth similar to milk-based formulas ¹.

High quality soy proteins with added calcium.

When a child is above 6 months, he has increased requirements for protein and calcium ³. Only Isomil Advance has a follow-on specially formulated for the nutrient requirements of children above 6 months. The high quality protein contained in Isomil Advance’s Follow-On unique formulation is a complete protein that provides all the 9 essential amino acids for your child’s growth and development. Also, the level of protein and calcium is within the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN). Isomil Advance Follow-On contains higher calcium levels than other soy formulas in Singapore. Calcium helps build strong bones and teeth, supporting better growth.

Level of protein and calcium in Isomil Advance Follow-On is within recommendation of the European Society of Pediatrics Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGAN) ⁴

Duo-Carb^TM Advantage for energy

Isomil Advance Follow-On’s unique Duo-Carb^TM Advantage, a special blend of 2 carbohydrates, offers about 3 times higher carbohydrate absorption than most other soy formulas ⁵. Carbohydrates provide your child with the energy needed for growth and development. This is especially important during diarrhoea when your child needs all the energy she can get to keep growing.

Another study published by Dr. Upton Allen et al showed that babies with acute diarrhea recovered about 2 days faster when fed with Isomil than babies on cow’s milk based formulas.⁶

Good Safety and Tolerability profile

Most infants with allergies to cow’s milk protein^§ will do well on isolated soy protein-based formula ². Clinical evidence supports that switching to Isomil will provide a substantial reduction in common feeding problems like vomiting, excessive crying, fussiness, spit-up and rashes in over 85% of babies in 3 days.⁷
