Peptamen Junior 1.5 Pediatric Tube Feeding Formula | Unflavored, 250 mL Carton, Peptide-Based
Peptamen Junior 1.5 is a calorie-dense, peptide-based tube feeding formula for children ages 1 to 13 with impaired GI function. It provides 1.5 kcal per mL, with nutrients that are easier to digest and absorb. Unflavored, in a 250 mL carton.
Built for tolerance
The protein is 100% whey, enzymatically broken down into peptides. 60% of the fat comes from MCT, which helps with fat absorption. It also has 6 g/L of partially hydrolyzed guar gum, a soluble fiber.
Growth and bone support
Includes the CalciLock blend of nutrients for healthy bone development, plus 0.6 g/L of EPA and DHA omega-3s.
