All the right nutrients in the right amounts

Bottle fed infants who are not breast-fed and who are intolerant to protein or lactose in modified cows’ milk formulae require a nutritionally adequate milk substitute to provide a source of energy and other nutrients.

SMA Wysoy* – the most widely chosen soya-based infant formula for cows’ milk protein intolerance –contains the key nutrients in the right balance necessary for healthy growth.

Protein
Carbohydrate
Antioxidants
Calcium
Complete vitamin and mineral profile

Protein

Wysoy is based on a soya protein isolate. It does not contain whey or casein protein.

Protein is vitally important for growth. Therefore, if infants are intolerant to the protein in milk an alternative source of protein must be sought. Soya protein is a suitable alternative for infants with a cows’ milk intolerance.

Carbohydrate

Carbohydrate in the form of sugar is an essential part of a baby’s diet, as it provides a major and readily available source of energy (calories).

Three types of carbohydrate are commonly used in infant formulae:

Lactose
Maltodextrins
Glucose syrup solids

Lactose is the sugar naturally occurring in cows’ milk. It is the source of carbohydrate in breast milk and most cows’ milk-based infant formulae. However, for lactose intolerant infants an alternative must be found.

SMA Wysoy contains carbohydrates in the form of glucose, instead of lactose. This is the most suitable alternative to lactose, due to its tolerance and digestibility.

Antioxidants

Protecting infants as they grow

Wysoy contains antioxidants, including beta-carotene and selenium, to help protect against cell damage from free radicals

Selenium plays an important role in helping maintain the immune system by scavenging for free radicals.

The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which is important for maintaining the immune system and aiding vision and cell growth.^1,2,³

Calcium

SMA Wysoy contains about 20% more calcium than other soya formulae.

Babies and toddlers need sufficient levels of calcium in their diets. Calcium is not only essential for bone and teeth development; it also plays a role in regulating muscle contraction.

Complete Vitamin and Mineral Profile

Like all the SMA formula milks, Wysoy has a broad profile of macro and micro-nutrients, including key vitamins and minerals.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Breast feeding is best for babies. SMA WYSOY milk free formula is intended to replace breast milk when mothers do not breast feed and to meet the nutritional needs of infants and children who are intolerant to cows' milk protein, lactose or sucrose. You should always seek the advice of a doctor, midwife, health visitor, public health nurse, dietitian or pharmacist on the need for and proper method of use of infant formulae and on all matters of infant feeding. Soya infant formulae are not suitable for premature babies or those with kidney problems, where medical guidance should always be sought.
