Peptamen Junior 1.5 is a concentrated, peptide-based pediatric nutrition formula designed for children ages 1–13 who experience impaired GI function and need a calorically dense option that supports efficient digestion and nutrient absorption. This specialized pediatric formula delivers easily digestible, enzymatically hydrolyzed 100% whey protein along with a balanced fat profile to help improve tolerance, especially for children with compromised gastrointestinal health. With added MCTs for enhanced fat absorption and partially hydrolyzed guar gum for digestive support, Peptamen Junior 1.5 provides complete, reliable nutrition for tube feeding and nutritional management in children who require a higher-calorie, GI-friendly formula.
