  The PEPTAMEN Formula Difference.

  Peptamen tube-feeding formulas are specialized enteral nutrition designed to support absorption and tolerance in individuals with a gastrointestinal disorder (GI). GI disorders can cause nutritional challenges. Depending on the severity of the condition, intake and digestion of nutrients can be challenging. Peptamen tube-feeding formulas can help to address these challenges so you can be nourishing every day with confidence.
  

  Peptamen tube-feeding formulas are recommended for individuals who:

  • Cannot tolerate formulas with intact or whole protein, also known as standard formulas
  • Have digestive tract impairment, which may lead to diarrhea, vomiting or discomfort associated with tube feeding
  • May have problems digesting or absorbing protein or fat
    
    Appropriate for patients with impaired GI function including from: Malnutrition, Malabsorption, Short Bowel Syndrome, Pancreatitis, Inflammatory Bowel disease, and Early Enteral Feeding.
    
    
    
    50 - 70% of fat as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can be rapidly absorbed by the body and can empty quickly from the stomach and be used for energy.
    
    Certain Peptamen formulas contain soluble fiber to help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria to support digestive health.
    
    When we digest protein, it gets broken down into smaller chains called peptides. But with a GI disorder, the body may not be able to complete this "break down" process efficiently. Peptamen formulas gives your body that head start it may need by providing smaller easy-to-absorb peptides.
    
    Recipes may be prepared using any of the Peptamen family of formulas. If your doctor has recommended that you drink Peptamen formulas by mouth, you can easily create flavoring options with these recipes
    
    Peptamen formulas contain enzymatically hydrolyzed, 100% whey protein, which are associated with improved absorption and tolerance.
