SMA Gold Prem® 1
Food for special medical purpose. For the dietary management of preterm and low birthweight infants. This product must be used under medical supervision.
SCIENCE INSPIRED BY NATURE
SMA Gold Prem® 1 is a nutritionally complete preterm low birthweight formula for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies. It provides higher levels of energy, protein, vitamins and minerals compared to typical infant milks and is specially formulated to help support their immature body systems.
Preterm is defined as infants born at or before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Infants who are born prematurely weight much less than term infants, this is because a significant amount of baby’s weight gain occurs between 36 and 40 weeks of pregnancy.
SMA Gold Prem® 1 should only be used following recommendation by a healthcare professional. Your healthcare professional will advise you when to move from SMA Gold Prem® 1 to another formula.
This product must be used under medical supervision.

Important notice
We believe that breastfeeding is the ideal nutritional start for babies as breast milk provides a balanced diet and protection against illness for your baby. We fully support the World Health Organization’s recommendation of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life followed by the introduction of adequate nutritious complementary foods along with sustained breastfeeding up to two years of age. We also recognise that breastfeeding may not be an option due to certain medical conditions. You should only feed Infant formula for special medical purposes under supervision of a healthcare professional after full consideration of all feeding options, including breastfeeding. Continued use must be assessed by the healthcare professional in relation to the baby's progress bearing in mind any social and financial implications for the family. Infant formula should always be prepared, used and stored as instructed on the label in order to avoid risks to a baby’s health. This product must be used under medical supervision. SMA Gold Prem® 1 is a special formula intended for the dietary management of preterm low birthweight babies who are not solely fed breast milk. It is suitable for use as the sole source of nutrition for preterm babies from birth. SMA Gold Prem® 1 is not intended for use with older preterm babies, for whom a special catch-up formula such as SMA Gold Prem® 2 is more appropriate.
