The Science of Similac Pro Advance Step 2
Harnessing the essence of breast milk, Similac Pro Advance Step 2 is a testament to innovation. With the integration of 2’-FL, DHA, and lutein, it mirrors nature’s best.
This blend is the result of rigorous research, offering a formula that champions infant health.
2’-FL Immune Support: Breast milk contains protective factors like 2′-FL that help bolster the baby’s immune system. Similac Pro-Advance® Step 2 is the first and only infant formula in Canada to contain 2’-FL, ensuring that formula-fed babies can also benefit from this innovative ingredient.
DHA & Lutein Blend: DHA, an Omega-3 fat naturally found in breast milk, plays a pivotal role in the physical development of a baby’s brain and eyes. Lutein, another component of breast milk, is concentrated in the baby’s brain and eyes. Similac Pro-Advance® contains both these essential nutrients, ensuring comprehensive support.
Natural Vitamin E: While vitamin E is a common component in many formulas, Similac Pro-Advance® boasts of natural vitamin E, the form most abundantly found in breast milk and the infant brain. This ensures that babies get the most bioactive form of this antioxidant.
Non-GMO Formula: Parents can have peace of mind knowing that Similac Pro-Advance® Step 2 is crafted with ingredients that are not genetically engineered, aligning with a growing preference for more natural feeding options.
Digestive Comfort: Similac Pro-Advance® is not only nutritionally advanced but is also designed to be easy on a baby’s digestive system, ensuring they receive all the essential nutrients without any discomfort.
