Explore our Family of Pediatric Formulas
Peptamen Junior® formulas are the ONLY enteral nutrition formulas made with 100% whey protein, designed for children, ages 1-13, with GI impairment. Designed to support absorption and deliver complete nutrition, while helping address nutritional challenges associated with pediatric GI disorders, including growth failure and malnutrition.
What makes Peptamen Unique?
Higher Ratio of MCT
Medium-chain triglycerides make up to 60% of the fats in our formula to help facilitate fat absorption and support formula tolerance.
Growth Support
A clinical study showed that children receiving long-term enteral nutrition experienced a 5.88% increase in body weight from baseline during 100 days of Peptamen® use.1
Smaller Peptides
Our formulas offer your patients a high percentage of di- and tripeptides, making them more readily absorbed than free amino acids, larger peptides and intact protein.
100% Whey Protein
Peptamen Junior® Formulas are the ONLY tube feeding formulas with hydrolyzed 100% whey protein. Whey is fast-acting, meaning it is emptied quickly by the stomach and then absorbed more efficiently in the small intestine.
Experience and Evidence
Peptamen® is well-studied and trusted with over 100 clinical studies supporting improved outcomes in GI-impaired patients.
