Aptamil Pepti Syneo is a hypoallergenic infant formula for the dietary management of cow's milk allergy, suitable from birth. It is based on extensively hydrolysed whey protein and adds galacto- and fructo-oligosaccharides (GOS/FOS) and Bifidobacterium breve M-16V. It is nutritionally complete, so it can be the sole source of nutrition for the first 6 months, and it is a food for special medical purposes that must be used under medical supervision.
