Key Benefits and Attributes
All Peptamen formulas are thoughtfully made to support tolerance and absorption of complete nutrition for our GI-impaired patients and feature:
100% Whey Protein
A fast-acting and high-quality superior protein that helps build and maintain muscle; may facilitate gastric emptying (nutrition flow through the digestive tract)
Smaller Peptides
The highest concentration of smaller peptides (protein fragments) – smaller peptides are easier to absorb and digest
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)
High percentage of fat from MCT, which facilitates fat absorption and supports formula tolerance
Also suitable for these diets: lactose intolerance, gluten-free, kosher
Additional Features of Peptamen® (1.0)
“Standard” caloric density
