Closes Multiple Immune Gaps
Closes Multiple Immune Gaps
2'-FL HMO helps support the immune system by closing multiple gaps in immune function† between formula-fed and breastfed infants.1,†
Only Similac with 2'-FL HMO was shown in a clinical study to support immune cell response to RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) more like the breastfed infant.1,‡
Also, in the same clinical study, parents reported significantly fewer respiratory infections in infants fed Similac with 2'-FL HMO.2,3,ǁ
Nucleotides are immune-building nutrients that help increase a baby's ability to make antibodies.4,¶
In a survey of Similac® Rewards members, parents reported less antibiotic use in infants fed Similac Pro-Advance than infants fed formulas without HMO.5,#
Reports of eczema were lower in 2'-FL HMO groups and similar to the breast milk group.2,**
