Key Product Properties and Specifications

Peptamen Junior is formulated with enzymatically hydrolyzed, 100% whey protein, which facilitates gastric emptying and aids in the absorption of nutrients. The product contains a CalciLock® blend of essential nutrients to support healthy bone development, and 60% of its fat content comes from Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), reducing the potential for fat malabsorption. This nutritionally complete formula is suitable for tube feeding or oral supplementation, making it versatile for various feeding methods. It is also designed for children with specific dietary needs, including those with lactose intolerance and those who require a gluten-free diet.

• Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Whey Protein: Facilitates gastric emptying and enhances nutrient absorption.
• CalciLock® Blend: Supports healthy bone development, essential for growing children.

Practical Uses and Target Audience Scenarios

Peptamen Junior is an ideal nutritional support for children with a range of conditions, including short bowel syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Cystic Fibrosis, Crohn’s disease, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, delayed gastric emptying, growth failure, early enteral feeding, or transitioning from Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN). Its milk protein content makes it unsuitable for individuals with cows' milk protein allergy, but it is a valuable resource for those with other dietary restrictions. With Peptamen Junior, parents and healthcare providers can ensure that children receive the essential nutrients they need to thrive, even when faced with digestive challenges.
