Similac® Advance® is designed to be more like breast milk and help support your baby's developing immune system. Only EarlyShield has our patented blend of immune-supporting nucleotides — and prebiotics and carotenoids, nutrients naturally found in breast milk. Explore how EarlyShield can help give your baby a strong start.
Nucleotides to Help Support the Immune System
Nucleotides are immune-supporting nutrients that help support your baby's ability to make important antibodies. The nucleotide blend and level in Similac Advance is designed to match the nucleotides in breast milk.
Prebiotics to Help Promote Digestive Health
Your baby's gut relies on millions of "good bacteria" to support digestive health. Recent clinical research suggests that special carbohydrates (prebiotics) found in breast milk and Similac Advance can help stimulate the growth of these beneficial bacteria, which helps support the immune system.
Carotenoids Naturally Found in Breast Milk
Carotenoids play important roles in the body. Similac Advance has our unique blend of carotenoids, including lutein (found in spinach), lycopene (found in tomatoes), and beta-carotene (found in carrots), which are found in breast milk. These carotenoids help support certain cells in the body, such as the eyes.
