Manganese helps in bone formation and metabolism, while Copper assists in iron absorption and cardiovascular health. Selenium acts as an antioxidant. 
   
• Taurine: An amino acid that supports brain and eye development and plays a role in the formation of bile salts, which are important for digestion.
   
• Choline: A vital nutrient for brain development, liver function and cell membrane integrity. It supports cognitive function and brain health.
   
• Nucleotides: Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as building blocks for DNA and RNA. Nucleotides play a role in cell division, immune function and the maintenance of gastrointestinal health. They help support the development of a robust immune system and cellular health.

• Nutritional Support: Similac Advance Stage 4 is designed to meet the specific dietary needs of infants, providing a comprehensive blend of essential nutrients that supports continued growth and development. As infants transition from exclusive breastfeeding or infant formula, this product ensures they receive balanced nutrition to support their evolving dietary requirements.
   
• Cognitive Enhancement: The formula is enriched with neuro-nutrients, including Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are vital for the ongoing development of cognitive functions and brain health. These nutrients play a key role in supporting memory, learning and cognitive development during this critical stage of growth.

These components work together to support the developing immune system, helping to protect infants from common illnesses and infections.

• Transition Support: As infants move from a diet primarily consisting of milk or formula to more varied solid foods, this formula provides a reliable nutritional base. It helps bridge the gap during the transition period, ensuring that older infants continue to receive essential nutrients that support their growth and development.
