About Nutricia GA-1 Anamix® Early Years Powdered Infant Formula with Iron, 400g
Nutricia GA-1 Anamix® Early Years is a lysine-free, low-tryptophan powdered infant formula with iron specifically designed for the dietary management of proven glutaric aciduria type I (GA-1) and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) in infants from birth to 12 months, and as a supplementary feed up to 3 years of age. Glutaric aciduria type I is a rare inherited organic acid disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase, which impairs the breakdown of lysine and tryptophan. Without treatment, the resulting accumulation of glutaric acid and related metabolites can cause severe and irreversible neurological damage, particularly to the basal ganglia. GA-1 Anamix Early Years provides a carefully balanced blend of all other essential and non-essential amino acids — with no lysine and reduced tryptophan — along with carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements to meet the complete nutritional needs of affected infants. The formula includes DHA and ARA to support brain and eye development, and a prebiotic GOS and FOS fiber blend to promote digestive health and immune system function. Each 400g can provides approximately 1892 calories. GA-1 Anamix Early Years must only be used under medical supervision and as directed by a healthcare professional experienced in metabolic disorders.
Key Benefits & Features
- Lysine-Free, Low-Tryptophan Formula for GA-1 and PDE: Specifically formulated for the dietary management of glutaric aciduria type I and pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy, this formula contains no lysine and a reduced level of tryptophan — the two amino acids that are precursors to the toxic metabolites produced in GA-1 — while providing all other essential and non-essential amino acids for healthy infant growth.
- Complete Amino Acid and Macronutrient Profile: Provides 13.5 grams of protein equivalent per 100 grams of powder through a balanced amino acid blend, along with carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements for comprehensive nutritional support.
- DHA and ARA for Brain and Eye Development: Contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that support normal infant brain and eye development during the critical first year of life.
- Prebiotic GOS and FOS Fiber Blend: A combination of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) provides prebiotic fiber to support a healthy digestive environment and contribute to immune system development in infants who depend on this formula as a primary nutrition source.
- Supports Bone Health: Provides calcium and vitamin D3 in levels appropriate for infant development to help build and maintain strong bones and teeth during the first year of life.
- Suitable from Birth to 12 Months: Formulated as a primary formula for infants from birth to 12 months with proven GA-1 or PDE, and appropriate as a supplementary feed up to 3 years of age as directed by a healthcare team.
