PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal, Vanilla
PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal is a specialized, nutritionally complete peptide-based formula designed for children ages 1 to 13 who struggle with gastrointestinal (GI) impairment. This vanilla-flavored, semi-elemental nutrition provides a balanced blend of nutrients specifically formulated to meet the medical needs of pediatric patients with conditions such as malabsorption, short bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or cystic fibrosis.
The formula is crafted with hydrolyzed 100% whey protein, which is broken down into smaller peptides to facilitate easier protein absorption and faster gastric emptying. To further support children with fat malabsorption, it contains a unique blend of structured lipids and MCT oil, ensuring they receive the necessary energy for healthy growth and development. Whether utilized for oral supplementation or as a primary source of nutrition via tube feeding, PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal offers a clinical-grade solution with a flavor profile that helps encourage compliance in picky eaters.
