Peptamen Intense VHP is a peptide-based nutritionally complete very high protein formula (37%) with peptides from 100% whey protein, 50% of fat from MCT with added EPA and DHA, and lower carbohydrate content; designed to support improved formula tolerance and successful enteral feeding in patients with impaired GI function and/or high protein requirements.
Features
- Volume: 250 mL.
- Flavor: unflavored.
- Carbohydrate content to aid in the nutritional regulation of blood glucose.
- Enzymatically hydrolyzed, 100% whey protein may aid in gastric emptying.
- The GI formula is evidence-based, highly tolerated, and contains a lot of protein.
- The 4 g/L PREBIO soluble fiber mix promotes the formation of good bacteria, which supports digestive health.
- The highest proportion of calories from protein (37%) of any complete tube-feeding formula to aid in the preservation of lean muscle mass.
- 50% of the fat comes from MCT, and it contains omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil to help modulate pro-inflammatory mediators in the critically sick patient.
- The Critical Care Guidelines prescribe a protein-to-calorie ratio that is especially tailored to help critically ill patients with obesity achieve their protein requirements.
