Peptamen Junior, a Peptide-Based Formula for Children with Impaired GI Function

Peptamen Junior Complete Peptide-Based Formula is a nutritionally complete, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-absorb formula designed to support the nutritional needs of children aged 1-13 with impaired gastrointestinal (GI) function. This medical food is intended for use under medical supervision.

The formula contains milk protein and is not appropriate for individuals with a cow's milk protein allergy. It is suitable for low-residue, gluten-free, and lactose-free diets, with the exception of individuals with galactosemia.

Specialized Nutrition for Improved Tolerance Peptamen Junior is formulated with enzymatically hydrolyzed, 100% whey protein to facilitate gastric emptying. Additionally, 60% of the fat content comes from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which helps facilitate fat absorption and supports formula tolerance.

Meets Increased Protein Needs With 16% of its calories derived from protein, Peptamen Junior is appropriate for children with increased protein needs. This formulation is preferred by registered dietitians for its ability to meet the specific nutritional requirements of children with impaired GI function.

Dietary Appropriateness Peptamen Junior is a gluten-free and lactose-free product, making it suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance. However, it is not appropriate for those with a cow's milk protein allergy.

Complete Organic Blends The formula contains a blend of nutrients from fruits, vegetables, chicken, and added vitamins and minerals to meet the age-appropriate Daily Reference Intake per complete feeding. Peptamen Junior can be a suitable alternative for individuals who have used Functional Formularies, Kate Farms, or Real Food Blends.

In summary, Peptamen Junior is a proven, peptide-based pediatric formula designed for children aged 1-13 with impaired GI function. Its specialized formulation, protein content, and dietary appropriateness make it a valuable option for supporting the nutritional needs of this patient population under medical supervision.
