Powdered soy-based infant formula is iron fortified. The soy-based formula, only available when prescribed by a physician or other health professional, may be used for infants who have one or more of the following conditions: lactose intolerance; galactosemia (metabolic disorder); or a potential allergy to milk protein. Powdered soy infant formula provides all the nutritional needs for infants less than one year of age. It is lactose-free to avoid lactose-associated symptoms (e.g. diarrhea).
