HiPP Hypoallergenic Combiotik Formula range explained
For babies with allergies and food sensitivities
HiPP Hypoallergenic (HA) Combiotik Formulas are specially developed for babies with allergies and food sensitivities. The milk proteins are broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces so your baby does not react to them. Combiotik stands for the unique combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and the natural folate called Metafolin.
Metafolin is a patented ingredient more easily absorbed than the synthetic folic acid commonly found in US formulas. These combined nutrients boost your baby's gut health and thus strengthen the immune system. A strong immune system helps to reduce allergenic reactions.
Key points
Hydrolyzed milk proteins to minimize the risk of developing allergies.
Probiotics and prebiotics support healthy gut flora and strengthen the immune system.
Natural folate (Metafolin) for the normal cell division supporting your baby's overall heath.
Starch-free for easy digestion and to avoid tummy troubles.
Free from GMOs, corn syrup, and soy for safe nutrition for babies with allergies.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Why do HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas use extensively hydrolyzed milk proteins?
HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas contain proteins broken down into smaller components (hydrolyzed) to reduce the risk of allergic reactions. This process helps the immune system to avoid identifying them as milk proteins. Additionally, these hydrolyzed proteins are easier to digest. HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas offer safe nutrition for babies prone to allergies or food and milk protein sensitivities.
What carbohydrates are used in HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas?
All HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas use lactose as a single source of carbohydrates. Lactose is the most natural supply of energy for infants. Lactose is also the sole carbohydrate in breast milk.
Until what age can I give my baby HiPP Hypoallergenic Stage 2?
HiPP Hypoallergenic Stage 2 is suitable for babies from 6 months old. It is also suitable as toddler milk and can be given until your toddler no longer drinks formula.
Do HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas contain starch?
No, all HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas do not contain starch. While babies can digest starch from birth, it is avoided in formulas for allergy-prone infants because they tend to have sensitive digestive systems and an unbalanced gut microbiome. To make the formula as easy to digest as possible, starch is not added. Lactose is the sole carbohydrate in all HiPP Hypoallergenic formulas.
What does ''Combiotik'' stand for?
The term "Combiotik" refers to the beneficial combination of natural lactic acid cultures (probiotics), valuable fibers (prebiotics), and the natural folate called Metafolin. Metafolin is a patented ingredient that is more easily absorbed than the synthetic folic acid commonly found in US formulas. These nutrients work together to support a healthy gut flora and strengthen the immune system.
Do the HiPP HA Combiotik formulas contain corn syrup?
A clear no! No German baby formula, regardless of the brand, contains corn syrup, a common ingredient in American formulas. The European Union prohibits using corn syrup in baby formulas, as it is not considered a beneficial ingredient for infants.
What’s the difference between HiPP HA Combiotic Stage 1 and HiPP HA Combiotic PRE?
Both formulas are suitable from birth to 6 months. They contain the same ingredients. The only difference is that HiPP HA Combiotic Stage 1 has slightly higher nutritional values that keep your little one full for longer. Therefore, it is perfect for allergy-prone infants who seem to still be hungry after a meal.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are considered to be "good" bacteria that naturally reside in the digestive tract. When you add probiotics to your baby's diet, you encourage the growth of healthy gut flora. Additionally, it can help alleviate and prevent conditions like constipation. There are many different strains of probiotics, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which are all part of a healthy baby's microbiome. Probiotics have numerous beneficial effects, including improved immune response, reduced colic, and prevention of eczema.
What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics are a type of dietary fiber that stimulates the growth of good bacteria (lactobacilli) in your gut. Baby formula mainly contains galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) obtained from lactose. As GOS are naturally present in breast milk oligo-saccharides, GOS are well-tolerated and can help soften stool, similar to breastfed infants. GOS has several benefits, such as promoting the growth of lactobacilli in your gut, which can improve digestion and boost your baby's immune system.
What's the difference between HiPP HA and HiPP Comfort formula?
HiPP HA and HiPP Comfort formulas are both based on extensively hydrolyzed proteins. This minimizes the risk of developing allergies. The main difference between those two formulas is that the Comfort formula is additionally reduced in lactose, which helps with issues like gassiness and constipation.
HiPP Comfort is suitable for allergy-prone babies that have troubles like gassiness, constipation or colic.
