Nutramigen® is designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants and young children with food allergies or colic due to cow’s milk protein sensitivities. Nutramigen contains a milk protein that is broken down into tiny pieces to virtually eliminate allergic reactions. This extensively hydrolyzed protein has been widely studied and is clinically proven effective for cow’s milk protein allergy. In addition, Nutramigen works fast (often within 48 hours) to quiet diet-related colic due to cow's milk protein allergy. Nutramigen also has DHA and ARA – two nutrients found in breast milk that are the building blocks for a baby’s brain and eyes.

History
Mead Johnson developed Nutramigen in 1942 to cater to the needs of infants with allergies to cow’s milk protein and was the first protein-hydrolysate infant formula available in the United States. Nutramigen today is the most widely studied formula for the dietary management of allergic manifestations.

After nearly 70 years, infants with food allergies or protein sensitivities have managed their conditions successfully with Nutramigen. Today, the formula is widely available in Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific and North America.

Innovations
After nearly 70 years of research and innovation to the Nutramigen line, the product remains one of the leading infant formulas in the United States for children with milk allergies. In 2009, Mead Johnson introduced Nutramigen with Enflora™ LGG in the United States that included the addition of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GG – also known as LGG. LGG is the widely-studied probiotic, with more than 40 clinical trials conducted in infants and children. The first to use this extensive array of scientific support, Mead Johnson added LGG to Nutramigen to help the strength of the intestinal barrier of the allergic infant. To date, thousands of infants with cow’s milk protein allergies have benefited from the dual action of Nutramigen with LGG, not only to reduce allergen exposure, but also to support a healthy stomach.
