Our product is made of USDA-certified organic sucrose. The sugar cane is grown without pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilizers of any kind...and since it’s grown organically, the local wildlife and water supplies are protected as well.
Oral sucrose administration has been extensively studied in both preterm and term neonates and has been found to significantly reduce pain responses during routine painful procedures such as heel lancing and venipuncture. The AAP in their 2006 policy on The Prevention and Management of Pain in Neonates states that the use oral sucrose and other non-pharmacologic pain-reduction strategies should be used during minor routine procedures. Repeated painful procedures may cause neuro-developmental impairment, especially in preterm babies (AAP). A review done by Harrison, et al., also indicates that sucrose is effective during immunizations in babies up to 12 months of age.
