Description

PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal, Strawberry

Finding the right nutritional support for a child with a sensitive digestive system can be a challenge. PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal is a nutritionally complete, peptide-based formula specifically designed for children ages 1 to 13 who experience gastrointestinal (GI) impairment or malabsorption. By utilizing hydrolyzed whey protein, this formula is broken down into smaller "peptides," making it significantly easier for your child’s body to absorb essential nutrients without causing digestive distress.

Whether your child requires supplemental nutrition due to food intolerance, short bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease, PediaSure Peptide provides the balanced caloric density needed to support healthy growth and development. The delicious strawberry flavor is a favorite among picky eaters, making it an excellent choice for oral consumption, though it is equally effective for tube feeding. This formula is crafted to provide the protein, vitamins, and minerals your child needs to thrive, even when their gut needs a gentler approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes a peptide-based formula different from standard formulas?
A: Unlike standard formulas that use intact proteins, peptide-based formulas use proteins that are already partially broken down (hydrolyzed). This makes them much easier to digest and absorb for children with compromised GI tracts or malabsorption issues.

Q: Is PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal suitable for children with lactose intolerance?
A: Yes, PediaSure Peptide is suitable for children with lactose intolerance. However, it is not intended for children with galactosemia.

Q: Can this formula be used for both oral and tube feeding?
A: Absolutely. While the strawberry flavor is designed for pleasant oral drinking, the consistency and nutrient profile are fully compatible with enteral (tube) feeding systems.

Q: Does this formula contain any artificial growth hormones?
A: No, PediaSure Peptide is made with milk ingredients from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones like rbST.

Q: What is the caloric density of this specific version?
A: This version provides 1.0 Cal per mL, offering a balanced caloric intake to support steady growth in pediatric patients.
