Almiron Pepti MCT

Almiron Pepti MCT is a food for special medical purposes, formulated for infants from birth under pediatric supervision who have cow’s milk protein allergy, fat malabsorption, low-lactose tolerance, or experience intense colic/gas episodes. It combines extensively hydrolyzed whey protein, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), very low lactose content (<0.05 g/100 ml), and nucleotides to provide gentle, digestible nutrition

Key Features & Benefits:

• Extensively hydrolyzed whey protein: broken-down peptides for hypoallergenic tolerance and ease of digestion.

• Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT): rapidly absorbable fats ideal for infants with fat absorption issues.

• Low lactose content: helps manage diarrhea-linked lactose intolerance, though trace lactose remains.

• Includes LCPs (DHA & AA) and nucleotides for brain, immune, and cellular support 

• Indicated for: diagnosed cow’s milk protein allergy, gastrointestinal fat malabsorption, prolonged diarrhea intolerance to lactose, and severe colic.

• Medical grade formula: to be used only under prescription guidance from birth as sole nutrition, and optionally as part of mixed diet after 6 months .

Usage Instructions:

1. Wash hands and sterilize feeding equipment.

2. Boil fresh drinking water, cool to about 40 °C, and pour into sterilized bottle.

3. Use the enclosed measuring scoop only. Add powder according to feeding table.

4. Close bottle, shake vigorously for at least 10 seconds until fully dissolved.

5. Test temperature on wrist before feeding.

6. Discard leftover feed after 1–2 hours and do not reheat in a microwave.

7. Once opened, consume the tin contents within 30 days. Keep sealed in a cool, dry place (<25 °C), do not refrigerate 

Specifications:

• Age Range: From birth (0 months); may transition after 6 months as part of a mixed diet under medical oversight.

• Pack Size: Typically sold in 400 g tin (some markets also offer 450 g) .

• Regulatory Status: Classified as FSMP (Food for Special Medical Purposes) under EU directive—prescribed and supervised use only

Pros & Considerations:

✔ Advantages:

• Hypoallergenic and low lactose to support infants with CMA or digestive fat issues.

• MCT more easily absorbed than long-chain fats—supporting nutrition in malabsorption scenarios.

• Balanced nutrient profile, including LCPs and nucleotides, supports growth and immunity.

⚠ Precautions:

• Requires pediatric prescription and close monitoring.

• Not suitable for infants with galactosemia or total lactose intolerance.

• Mixing must be precise; improperly dissolved powder may cause feeding issues.
