Description
Nestlé Peptamen is a specialized nutritional formula designed for individuals with impaired gastrointestinal function or difficulty digesting and absorbing nutrients. This formula contains partially hydrolyzed (pre-digested) protein in the form of peptides, which makes it easier for the body to digest and absorb. Peptamen Vanilla offers a delicious flavor and provides balanced nutrition, supporting those with conditions like malabsorption, gastrointestinal disorders, or those recovering from surgery.
Key Features:
- Easily Digestible Peptides: Peptamen contains 100% whey protein hydrolysate, which is broken down into smaller peptides for easier digestion and rapid absorption, making it ideal for those with gastrointestinal issues.
- Balanced Nutrition: Peptamen provides a complete nutritional profile, including proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, supporting overall health and recovery.
- Rich in MCTs (Medium-Chain Triglycerides): Peptamen is formulated with a high percentage of MCT fats that are more easily absorbed than long-chain fats, providing energy even when fat absorption is compromised.
- Vanilla Flavor: The product offers a pleasant vanilla flavor, making it enjoyable to consume, especially for individuals with limited appetite or taste sensitivity.
- Ready-to-Drink Convenience: The 200ml cartons are pre-prepared and easy to consume, either at home or on the go, without the need for mixing or additional preparation.
- Suitable for Various Conditions: Peptamen is ideal for patients with malabsorption syndromes, Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, or those recovering from gastrointestinal surgery.
Nutritional Benefits:
- Supports Muscle Health: With whey protein hydrolysate, Peptamen supports muscle maintenance and tissue repair, especially in individuals experiencing muscle wasting or recovery.
