Hypoallergenic formula
for the hungry, sensitive baby.
All the allergy protection of HiPP HA - hydrolyzed protein, live probiotics, Metafolin - with organic starch added for babies who need extra satiety from day one.
Allergy protection meets satiety
Hydrolyzed Whey Protein
Milk proteins broken into smaller fragments that the immune system is less likely to recognize as a threat. Clinically studied for 25 years and confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority.
Creamier - Longer Satiety
Organic starch makes Stage 1 thicker and more filling than HA PRE. The right choice if your sensitive baby drains bottles quickly and seems hungry shortly after feeds.
Probiotics + GOS Prebiotics
Hereditum lactic acid cultures plus 0.3g GOS prebiotic fiber. A dual gut-health approach that is especially relevant for allergy-prone babies whose microbiome balance matters from day one.
DHA + Metafolin
Omega-3 DHA for brain and visual development, alongside Metafolin - the active folate form that every baby absorbs fully regardless of genetic variation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I start with HA PRE or HA Stage 1?
The allergy protection is identical in both - same hydrolyzed protein level, same probiotics. The only difference is starch. HA PRE has no starch and a thinner consistency, closest to breast milk. HA Stage 1 adds starch for a creamier, more filling feed. If your newborn settles well after feeds and isn't showing hunger cues shortly after, start with HA PRE. If your baby seems hungry quickly or feeds very frequently, HA Stage 1 may keep them more satisfied between feeds.
Can I use HA Stage 1 if my baby doesn't have allergy symptoms yet?
Yes - and many parents do. HiPP HA Stage 1 is commonly chosen as a preventive measure when there is a family history of allergies, eczema, asthma, or hay fever - even before any symptoms appear in the baby. Clinical guidelines suggest that introducing hydrolyzed protein early and maintaining it consistently for 4-6 months gives the best protective effect. Consult your pediatrician if you are unsure whether HA formula is appropriate for your situation.
Why is HA Stage 1 not labeled organic?
The hydrolysis process that breaks down milk proteins - the feature that makes this formula hypoallergenic - is not compatible with organic certification. Hydrolyzed milk protein is simply not available in certified organic form. However, HiPP applies the same strict sourcing standards to HA formulas as to their organic line: no pesticides, no GMOs, no synthetic hormones, no antibiotics. The formula is manufactured in Germany and meets all EU food safety requirements.
Does HA formula smell and taste different from regular formula?
Yes - hydrolyzed protein formulas have a slightly different smell and sometimes a mildly bitter taste compared to standard formula. This is a normal characteristic of partially hydrolyzed whey. Most babies accept it without issue, especially when introduced from birth. If transitioning from a standard formula, mixing a small amount of HA into the current formula and gradually increasing the ratio over a few days can help with acceptance.
When do I switch to HA Stage 2?
At 6 months, when your baby starts solid foods, HiPP HA Stage 2 takes over. It provides double the iron (1.0mg vs 0.60mg per 100ml) and more calcium to meet the nutritional needs of the weaning stage - while maintaining the same hydrolyzed protein and probiotic protection your baby has had from the start.
How long does one box last?
One 600g box makes approximately 140 scoops at 4.3g per scoop. At the newborn stage with 60-90ml bottles and 6-8 feeds per day, a box lasts 8-10 days. By 3-4 months with 150ml bottles, expect 7-8 days. Our bundle options offer significant savings per box - the 12-box set is the most cost-effective for families planning to use HA formula through the full 6-month preventive period.
Important: HiPP HA Stage 1 is a specialty formula for babies with cow's milk protein sensitivity or at elevated allergy risk. It is not a medical treatment and is not suitable for diagnosed CMPA without pediatrician approval. Always consult your pediatrician before use. Prepare with freshly boiled water cooled to 40-50°C to preserve live cultures. Manufactured by HiPP GmbH & Co. Vertrieb KG, D-85273 Pfaffenhofen, Germany.
