Neocate
Neocate is a range of hypoallergenic, amino acid-based medical foods formulated for infants, toddlers, and children who have severe allergies to cow's milk, multiple food protein intolerances, or specific GI disorders. Because it is made of individual amino acids rather than intact proteins, it is completely non-allergenic and easily digestible.

Standard preparation is 1 unpacked level scoop (approx. 4.6g) of powder per 30 mL (1 fluid ounce) of water. The exact amount of formula and dilution should be determined by a healthcare professional or registered dietitian based on the individual's nutritional needs.
