Frequently asked questions
Is this formula suitable for children with digestion issues?
Yes, Peptamen Junior 1.5 is specifically formulated for children ages 1 to 13 with impaired GI function. It utilizes 100% enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein, which is designed to be much easier for the body to digest and absorb than standard intact proteins.
Does it contain beneficial fats for better tolerance?
Absolutely. To improve digestive tolerance and fat absorption, 60% of the fat content in this formula is derived from medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).
Does this formula support bone development?
Yes, this formula is enriched with the CalciLock blend, a specialized nutrient combination designed to support healthy bone development in pediatric patients.
Does it provide anti-inflammatory benefits?
Yes, each liter contains 0.6 g of EPA and DHA (Omega-3 fatty acids). These are included to help modulate pro-inflammatory mediators, providing extra support for children dealing with complex health conditions.
Is this formula appropriate for children with fluid restrictions?
Yes, it is highly suitable for those with volume or fluid restrictions. The formula features a high energy density of 1.5 kcal/mL, providing 375 calories in a compact 250 mL carton.
