3232 A Protein Hydrolysate Formula

3232 A is a specialized powdered oral supplement from Reckitt Benckiser, formulated for infants and children who cannot properly metabolize certain carbohydrates. If your child has been diagnosed with a carbohydrate metabolism disorder — such as glucose-galactose malabsorption or another condition requiring precise carbohydrate control — this is the low-carbohydrate, protein hydrolysate base your care team may have recommended.

What sets 3232 A apart from a standard infant formula is exactly what it leaves out. It provides a nutritionally supportive foundation of protein hydrolysate, fat, vitamins, and minerals, but with minimal carbohydrate content, allowing the prescribing physician or dietitian to add a specific, tolerated carbohydrate source in a controlled amount. This makes it a dietary management tool rather than a ready-to-feed formula, and it should always be used under medical supervision with individualized mixing instructions.

Each container holds 1 lb. of powder providing roughly 100 calories per standard dilution, packaged for consistent reconstitution at home or in a clinical setting (item 042521). The hydrolyzed protein is broken down to support easier digestion and tolerance in sensitive infants and young children, which is often important for families managing complex metabolic needs alongside feeding challenges.

Because 3232 A addresses a narrow, specific clinical need, parents and caregivers commonly ask how much to prepare, what carbohydrate to add, and how to store the reconstituted formula — all questions best answered by your metabolic specialist, since the answers depend on your child's diagnosis and lab results. Ordering the correct formula reliably, however, is one thing we can help with; keeping a steady supply on hand prevents interruptions in a carefully managed diet.
