Product Description

PaediaSure Plus Juice is a 1.5 kcal/ml juice-style nutritional supplement for children weighing 8-30kg. This fat-free formula is designed for use under medical supervision and is suitable as a nutritional supplement for children who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements. Not suitable as a sole source of nutrition.

The formula is particularly suitable for children who have taste aberrations or an aversion to 'milky' supplements. It features whey protein isolate as the sole protein source, providing high-quality protein in a clear, juice-style format. The carbohydrate blend consists of maltodextrin (74.9%) and sucrose (25.1%).

PaediaSure Plus Juice is free from fat and fibre, making it suitable for specific dietary requirements. It is also free from artificial colours and is available in apple and very berry flavours.

Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed. Many nutritional products contain sucrose and other sugars. It is important for patients who are taking supplements as sip feeds to observe good oral hygiene.
