‡12-week RCT2. Infants with Atopic Dermatitis, Aptamil Pepti Syneo vs non-synbiotic EHF. Subgroup of n=50 infants with IgE associated AD, difference in SCORAD score Aptamil Pepti Syneo vs non-synbiotic EHE, -4.6, 95% CI, p=0.04.

#Single arm UK non-IgE mediated CMA study3, baseline non-synbiotic formula (n=27 out of n=29 well established on a non-synbiotic EHF) vs Aptamil Pepti Syneo, 4 week intervention. Sig reduction in GI symptoms (abdominal pain, wind, & constipation p=<0.05), reduction in severity of rhinitis (p<0.05) and itchy eyes (p<0.05). Significant reduction in PO-SCORAD in subgroup of n=6 infants with more severe AD at baseline, p=0.03. Mean number of overall hospital visits and hospital medication prescriptions significantly reduced (p<0.05) in the 6 months after Aptamil Pepti Syneo initiation compared with 6 months prior. n=13 included in the follow-up analysis.

§1 year follow up4 from 12 week RCT2. Significantly lower prevalence of asthma like symptoms and significantly fewer new users of asthma medication in the Aptamil Pepti Syneo group vs non-synbiotic EHF.

**Contains more of the gut microbiota modulating factors of breastmilk than any other EHF (prebiotic oligosaccharides, probiotic bacteria and lactose). Aptamil Pepti Syneo compared to all other UK EHFs.
