From the start, you want your baby to have a strong immune system and learning about prebiotics, nucleotides and carotenoids can help.
A Strong Immune System Means Good Health for Your Baby
Infants are born with an immune system that develops rapidly during the first two years of life. That's why it's important to make sure your baby is getting all the support they need to help build a strong immune system.
Similac Advance EarlyShield™ is designed to be more like breast milk. It has our unique blend of prebiotics, nucleotides, and carotenoids to help support your baby's developing immune system.
Prebiotics and Your Baby's Immune System
Because about 70% of the immune system is found in the digestive tract, developing a strong immune system from birth begins with creating a healthy digestive system. Your baby relies on millions of "good" bacteria in the digestive tract to support immune system development. Recent clinical research suggests that special carbohydrates (prebiotics) found in breast milk and Similac Advance Earlyshield can help stimulate the growth of this beneficial bacteria which helps support your baby's developing immune system.
Nucleotides and Your Baby's Immune System
Nucleotides are immune building nutrients that help increase your baby's ability to make important antibodies. The nucleotide blend and level in Similac Advance EarlyShield is designed to match the nucleotides in breast milk.
Carotenoids and Your Baby's Immune System
Carotenoids play important roles in the body. Similac Advance EarlyShield has our unique blend of carotenoids, including lutein (found in spinach), lycopene (found in tomatoes), and beta-carotene (found in carrots), which are three carotenoids found in breast milk. These carotenoids help support certain cells in the body, such as the eyes and skin.
Similac Advance EarlyShield has our unique blend of prebiotics, nucleotides and carotenoids — nutrients naturally found in breast milk. It is designed to help support your baby's developing immune system.
