Why Enspire?
How did this formula begin? Mead Johnson Nutrition, the maker of both Enfamil and Enspire, utilized the most comprehensive breast milk research ever. Explore the details and learn how the components MFGM and Lactoferrin, also found in breast milk, work together in this new formula.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lactoferrin?
Lactoferrin is a key immune-supporting protein found in both colostrum and breast milk. Clinical studies have confirmed the ability of Lactoferrin to support respiratory and gut health in infants and toddlers.
What is MFGM?
MFGM (Milk Fat Globule Membrane) is found in every drop of breast milk, and helps support your baby’s cognitive development. Specifically, MFGM is a naturally occurring bioactive membrane that surround the fat.
Why did Mead Johnson Nutrition choose to add MFGM and Lactoferrin to the product?
Through our extensive research of human milk, we are able to better understand not only the nutrients in breast milk, but also the benefits of these nutrients on infants. We were able to identify two key components that are in breast milk, but largely absent from standard formulas. Because we believe these components will help support an infant's start in life, we created Enfamil® Enspire™, the only formula with Lactoferrin and MFGM added as ingredients.
Is Enfamil Enspire FDA reviewed?
Yes. As with all of our infant formulas, Enfamil Enspire has been extensively reviewed by the FDA. Enspire is produced in Mead Johnson's US production facilities using domestic and internationally-sourced components.
Why would I consider Enfamil Enspire?
Enfamil Enspire is designed for parents who want our closest formula to breast milk. Enspire has complete nutrition for any infant for whom routine formula is appropriate.
Will babies tolerate Enfamil Enspire as well as they do other Enfamil formulas?
Moms can expect their babies to tolerate Enfamil Enspire the same as they do their current routine, milk-based formula. In clinical studies, growth and tolerance have been proven for both new ingredients.
Is Enfamil Enspire an excellent formula choice available in the market today?
Our scientists believe that Enfamil Enspire comes closer to the nutrition in breast milk than any prior Enfamil formulation, and with its combination of ingredients, is Enfamil's best routine formula available.
What's the difference between Enfamil Enspire and Enfamil® Enspire™ Gentlease®?
Enfamil Enspire Gentlease has easy-to-digest gentle proteins and reduced lactose compared to our routine infant formulas, such as Enfamil Enspire and Enfamil® NeuroPro™ Infant. Enfamil Enspire Gentlease is designed to be easy for developing digestive systems to digest and absorb. It has has approximately 1/6 the lactose of a full-lactose, routine, milk-based infant formula.
