Neocate Spoon Amino Acid Formula 400 g is a dietary food intended for special medical purposes. It is a prescription product in powder form to be reconstituted and consumed by the spoonful. It is anamino acid-based formula designed to meet the nutritional needs of children 6 months and older, to be used in conjunction with another product from the Neocate line and a diet that excludes certain protein-containing foods, particularly dairy products.
Neocate Spoon Amino Acid Formula 400 g is specially designed to meet the specific nutritional needs of children with severe protein allergies. By providing a complete source of amino acids, this formula ensures adequate nutrition, even in the absence of traditional proteins.

Our advice and expert opinions from pharmacists
Treatment for cow’s milk protein allergy relies on a diet that excludes all dairy products (known as an elimination diet), including milk, dairy products, cheese, butter, crème fraîche, and all processed foods containing milk (cookies, baby food jars, etc.).
If an infant has shown symptoms of cow’s milk protein allergy while being exclusively breastfed—that is, without any intake of cow’s milk—the mother is advised to follow a diet that excludes all cow’s milk protein.
The diagnosis is confirmed if this elimination diet leads to a rapid resolution of the child’s symptoms.
