Protect cells.
Why does an apple slice turn brown? That's oxidation, caused by free radicals released by oxygen. That's similar to the kind of damage that can happen to cells in your baby's body.
That's where antioxidants come in. They can prevent and repair damage from free radicals, keeping cells healthier. And healthier cells can mean a strong immune system for your baby.
More like breast milk.
Similac Advance EarlyShield™ has three special antioxidants known as carotenoids (beta carotene, lutein, and lycopene) — found naturally in breast milk — that help support your baby's skin and eyes.
You get carotenoids from colorful foods such as spinach, tomatoes, and carrots. But until your baby can eat a variety of fruits and veggies, one way to get these important nutrients is from Similac Advance EarlyShield.
