Amino acid-based formula

Amino acid-based formula is a type of infant milk formula made from individual amino acids. It is hypoallergenic and intended for infants suffering from severe allergy to milk and various gastrointestinal conditions, such as food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome and malabsorption syndromes.^[1]^[2] It is sometimes referred to as elemental formula but this is considered a misleading name.^[2] Issues with the use of amino acid-based formula include its high cost and its unpalatable taste.^[3] Intake of amino-acid formula for healthy infants shows no advantage in growth.^[4]
