Cow & Gate nutriprem 1
Cow & Gate nutriprem 1 low birthweight formula is a Food for Special Medical Purposes for the dietary management of preterm and low birthweight infants. It is part of the nutriprem range and has been developed and formulated for preterm infants weighing 1-1.8kg. It provides energy and nutrient levels which support intrauterine growth rates, long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid (AA & DHA), nucleotides, vitamins and minerals to help meet the requirements of preterm infants, and should reduce the need for additional nutrient supplementation. It also contains prebiotic oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS*) and milk fat, which are currently not contained in other preterm formulas in the UK. Cow & Gate nutriprem 1 is available in a ready-to-feed liquid format. 70ml bottles are supplied to hospitals only in boxes of 24. References: 1.
