Advanced Nutritional Support for Children with GI Impairment
Peptamen Junior® 1.5 is a specialized, peptide-based enteral nutrition formula tailored for children aged 1–13 with compromised gastrointestinal (GI) function. Delivering 1.5 kcal/mL, this calorically dense formula ensures that pediatric patients receive essential nutrients in a reduced volume, addressing both energy needs and fluid restrictions.
The formula features 100% enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein, promoting rapid gastric emptying and efficient nutrient absorption. With 60% of its fat content derived from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), Peptamen Junior® 1.5 enhances fat absorption, making it suitable for children with fat malabsorption issues. Additionally, the inclusion of partially hydrolyzed guar gum provides soluble fiber to support digestive health
Enriched with the CalciLock® nutrient blend—comprising calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins D, C, and K—this formula supports healthy bone development. Furthermore, it supplies 0.6 g/L of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids to help modulate inflammatory responses.
Available in unflavored and vanilla options, Peptamen Junior® 1.5 is designed for both tube feeding and oral supplementation, offering flexibility to meet individual patient needs.
