More Information

• Long-term usage:
  - It is not nutritionally complete. If used long term, additional essential fatty acids should be considered
  - To be used only under the supervision of a doctor
• Product characteristics:
  - Fat: The fat content of 3232 A mixed with 59gm added carbohydrate per quart is 35% of total calories. With no added carbohydrate, the fat content of 3232 A is 55% of total calories. The fat blend is 85% MCT oil and 15% corn oil to address potential fat malabsorption.
  - Protein: Protein provides 11% of total calories when 3232 A is mixed with 59 g added carbohydrate per quart. With no added carbohydrate, the protein content is 18% of total calories. The hypoallergenic protein source is extensively hydrolyzed casein that is supplemented with three amino acids, cystine, tyrosine, and tryptophan to provide an appropriate balance of amino acids to the infant. The protein source provides a high percentage of free amino acids with the remainder as small peptides. The protein efficiency ratio (PER) for 3232 A is equal to or greater than the PER for casein. Thus, the protein in 3232 A is of very high quality.
  - Carbohydrate: Carbohydrate provides 54% of total calories when 3232 A is mixed with 59 g added carbohydrate per quart. With no added carbohydrate, the carbohydrate content is 27% of total calories. The carbohydrate source in unprepared 3232 A is modified tapioca starch, which serves as a stabilizer. When mixed according to package directions with 59gm added carbohydrate per quart, the added carbohydrate provides 70% of the carbohydrate while modified tapioca starch provides 30%.
