The advantage of Neocate

Mixture "Neocate" - a unique baby food. Assign it in the case when the baby does not tolerate cow protein. The peculiarity of the mixture is its composition.

Since 6 months, the introduction of complementary foods has been recommended, but even in this case milk and other fermented milk products should be replaced with this mixture.

We study the composition

Those children who suffer from atopic dermatitis or do not tolerate cow protein, doctors recommend using Neocate (mixture). Its composition is truly unique.
