What Is HiPP HA Combiotic?
HA stands for hypoallergenic. HiPP HA Combiotic contains extensively hydrolyzed whey protein — meaning the milk protein is broken down into smaller pieces to help reduce allergen exposure. This makes it different from standard HiPP Combiotic formula.
It also includes HiPP’s Combiotic® blend (GOS prebiotic fibers and natural lactic acid cultures), DHA as required by legislation, and Metafolin® — a bioavailable source of folate.
