Only Neocate Syneo Infant contains Syneo, a patented blend of prebiotics and probiotics, backed by years of research, and designed to help support a balanced gut microbiota in infants with food allergies. Until more data is available, Neocate Syneo Infant is not recommended for the following patients, for whom Neocate® Infant is still available, unless directed or supervised by a healthcare professional:
- Infants with a post-pyloric feeding tube, which bypasses the stomach and empties into the small intestine.
- Infants with a central venous catheter (CVC).
- Infants with short bowel syndrome (SBS), unless a risk and benefit analysis is completed by a healthcare professional and the infant is monitored.
Neocate Syneo Infant should only be used under medical supervision.

Information for Healthcare Professionals:
- Neocate Syneo Infant can be given orally or by feeding tube. Not for parenteral use.
- Tube feeding hang time: Nutricia recommends formula can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 4 hours, at which time unused formula should be discarded.
- All scoops should be measured and unpacked. Use a scale that measures in grams for the most accurate results. Household measures are not recommended for measuring powdered Nutricia products.
Growth in healthy infants & hypoallergenicity studies:1
Purposes: [1] To assess the hypoallergenicity of Neocate with synbiotics in IgE-mediated cow milk allergy, [2] To evaluate growth outcomes and formula tolerance in healthy infants fed Neocate with synbiotics. Methodology: [1] Thirty infants & children with IgE-mediated cow milk allergy used Neocate with synbiotics followed by a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. [2] Healthy infants (0-15 days) were randomly assigned to receive a control amino acid-based formula or Neocate with synbiotics for 16 weeks. (n=115) Results/Conclusion: [1] This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe, well-tolerated and hypoallergenic according to American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. [2] This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe, well tolerated and promotes normal growth when fed to healthy infants.
Growth in infants with cow milk allergy study:2
Purpose: To evaluate growth outcomes and formula tolerance in infants with IgE- or non-IgE-mediated cow milk allergy fed Neocate with synbiotics. Methodology: Infants with cow milk allergy were randomly assigned to receive Neocate with synbiotics or a control formula (Neocate® Infant DHA/ARA) for 16 weeks. (n=110) Results/Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Neocate with synbiotics is safe and promotes normal growth in infants with cow milk allergy.
Gut microbiota dysbiosis study over 8 weeks3:
Purpose: To determine whether Neocate Syneo Infant will improve the developing gut microbiota in infant subjects with cow milk allergy relative to a standard amino acid-based formula and healthy, breastfed infants. Methodology: Infants with non-IgE-mediated cow milk allergy were randomized to receive a control amino acid-based formula or Neocate Syneo Infant for 8 weeks. A healthy breastfed reference group was also included. Results/Conclusion: This study demonstrated that Neocate Syneo Infant helps balance the gut microbiota of infants with cow milk allergy, bringing it closer to that seen in age-matched, healthy breastfed infants (figures available).
Infants after 8 weeks of management with standard amino acid-based formula (control) or amino acid-based formula with pre- and probiotics (test) compared to age-matched, healthy, breastfed infants. At 8 weeks, levels of both bifidobacteria and Eubacterium rectale + Clostridium coccoides group were measured as a percentage of total fecal bacteria. Test group median levels were different than control group (p<0.001), and were closer to breastfed infant levels vs. control group.3

Gut microbiota dysbiosis study over 26 weeks4:
Purpose: To determine whether Neocate Syneo Infant will improve the developing gut microbiota in infant subjects with cow milk allergy relative to a standard amino acid-based formula and healthy, breastfed infants over 26 days. Methodology: Infants with non-IgE-mediated cow milk allergy were randomized to receive a control amino acid-based formula or Neocate Syneo Infant for 26 weeks. A healthy breastfed reference group was also included. Results/Conclusion: At week 26 median percentages of bifidobacteria were significantly higher in test than control, whereas percentages of Eubacterium rectale/Clostridium coccoides were significantly lower. Safety parameters were similar between groups. Interestingly use of dermatological medication and reported ear infections were lower in test versus control. Beneficial effects of this AAF including specific synbiotics on microbiota composition were observed over 26 weeks, and shown suitable for dietary management of infants with non-IgE-mediated CMA.

Gut microbiota diversity and metabolic activity study6
Purpose: To report the effects of an AAF including specific synbiotics on oral and gastrointestinal microbiota of infants with non-IgE mediated CMA with reference to healthy, breastfed infants. Methodology: Infants with suspected non-IgE mediated CMA received test or control formula. Test formula was AAF with synbiotics (prebiotic fructo-oligosaccharides and
probiotic Bifidobacterium breve M-16V). Control formula was AAF without synbiotics. Healthy, breastfed infants were used as a separate reference group. Results/Conclusion: The AAF including specific synbiotics effectively modulates the gut microbiota and its metabolic activity in non-IgE mediated CMA infants bringing it close to a healthy breastfed profile.
