What’s in the Similac Total Comfort Formula?

Even with the best of intentions with nutrition, food sometimes causes upset tummies and other discomforts. The best treatment is by providing easy to digest food, aided by a formula for gut health. But not all formulas are created equal and have palm oil to deliver fat. Palm oil in large amounts hinders digestion, creates harder stool, and affects nutrient absorption. Combining the best of easy to digest ingredients and nutrients for total immunity support, Similac Total Comfort is formulated with a unique TummiCare™ System and an exclusive IMMUNIFY^Ⓡ blend for gentleness. Read on to learn more about the breakthrough use of Partially hydrolyzed Protein for easier digestion and which 10 ingredients that make up the total immunity support.^{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Why is No Palm Oil an important fact

Palm oil, often listed as palm olein in the ingredients, is formulated into supplements as low-cost fatty acid substitute fillers for energy. It is hard to digest and robs the formula of the essential healthy fats that the body needs to enhance the power of immune cells. It also prevents the absorption of calcium and other healthy fats, which hinders their functions. Made from a unique blend of non-GMO vegetable oils (eg. Safflower Oil, Soy Oil, Coconut Oil) with the best fatty acid content, Similac Total Comfort provides cells with the right kind of energy, while going easy on the stomach.^{1, 2, 3}
