Product Description

Althéra Baby Powder is a hypoallergenic, extensively hydrolyzed formula (EHF) designed for infants with cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) and multiple food protein allergies. It provides all essential nutrients to support healthy growth and development while being gentle on sensitive digestive systems.

Althéra contains small, broken-down proteins that are less likely to trigger an allergic reaction, making it a first-line choice for managing CMPA before considering an amino acid-based formula.
