The primary difference between Similac and Isomil lies in their formulation: Similac contains milk solids, while Isomil is a lactose-free formula. Specifically, Similac infant formulas are formulated with milk solids whereas Similac Isomil Lactose Free Infant Formula upto 24 months 400g is free from milk sugar lactose. This distinction makes Isomil suitable for infants with lactose intolerance.
To better understand the distinction, consider this table:
| Feature | Similac | Isomil |
|---|---|---|
| Main Component | Milk solids | Lactose-free |
| Lactose | Contains lactose | Does not contain lactose |
| Suitability | Infants who can digest lactose | Infants with lactose intolerance |
In essence, if your baby has difficulty digesting lactose, Isomil would be the preferred choice over standard Similac formulas.
