Peptamen®

Peptamen®: Advanced Nutrition for Enhanced GI Function

In the realm of nutritional support for gastrointestinal (GI) health, Peptamen® stands as a beacon of innovation and efficacy. Developed as an evidence-based formula, Peptamen® is designed to be not just tolerated but embraced by those with complex GI needs. With a focus on caloric density, balanced peptide profiles, and careful ingredient selection, Peptamen® offers a comprehensive solution for individuals requiring specialized nutritional support.

Calorically Dense, Nutritionally Balanced
One of the standout features of Peptamen® is its caloric density, carefully formulated to meet nutritional needs in smaller volumes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with limitations on their fluid intake or those who struggle with consuming larger quantities of food. Each serving delivers a concentrated source of essential nutrients, ensuring that every calorie counts towards improved health.

Balanced Peptide Profile for Enhanced Absorption
The peptide profile in Peptamen® is meticulously balanced to promote optimal GI absorption and integrity. Enzymatically hydrolyzed 100% whey protein takes center stage, a choice that not only facilitates gastric emptying but also provides a high-quality protein source for the body. This balance is crucial for individuals with malabsorption issues, pancreatitis, short bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhea, and other GI-related conditions.

MCT for Fat Absorption
Fat malabsorption can be a concern for many, but with Peptamen®, 70% of the fat content comes from medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). This specific type of fat is known for its ease of absorption, reducing the potential for malabsorption issues. It's a thoughtful addition that ensures individuals receive the full benefit of the healthy fats essential for overall well-being.

Tailored to Special Diets
Peptamen® is more than just a nutritional formula; it's a solution for those with specific dietary needs. Suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance, gluten-free requirements, and those on a low-residue diet, it offers a versatile option for diverse dietary restrictions. However, it's important to note that Peptamen® is not suitable for individuals with galactosemia or cows' milk protein allergy.

Indications for Use
The list of conditions Peptamen® addresses is extensive and impressive. From individuals with shortened feeding schedules to those with elevated protein requirements, fluid/volume restrictions, or malabsorption issues, Peptamen® provides vital nutritional support. Whether it's for individuals with Cystic Fibrosis, delayed gastric emptying, Crohn’s disease/IBD, or those undergoing cancer treatment, Peptamen® is a trusted ally in the quest for improved health.

Ingredients for Optimal Health
A closer look at the ingredients reveals a thoughtful selection aimed at promoting overall well-being. Alongside water and maltodextrin for hydration and energy, Peptamen® includes enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein, MCTs, vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients. These elements work in harmony to support the body's functions, from muscle health to immune function and beyond.

Medical Foods for Supervised Use
As a medical food, Peptamen® is intended for use under medical supervision. This underscores the importance of its precise formulation and the need for professional guidance when incorporating it into one's diet. The individual product labels provide detailed information on ingredients, allergen statements, and specific indications for use, ensuring a tailored approach to each individual's needs.
