Product Description

PaediaSure Peptide is a 1.0 kcal/ml complete, balanced, peptide-based liquid for children weighing 8-30kg. This formula is designed for use under medical supervision and is suitable as a sole source of nutrition or nutritional supplement for children who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements.

The formula features a unique peptide-based protein profile with all protein hydrolysed (70% whey protein hydrolysate, 30% hydrolysed sodium caseinate), providing protein at 12.0% of energy. The carbohydrate blend includes maltodextrin (79.7%), sucrose (20.1%), and carrageenan powder (0.19%). The fat source includes 50% MCT from palm kernel oil, 48% canola oil, 2% lecithin, providing fat at 36.0% of energy. This product is fibre-free.

PaediaSure Peptide is particularly suitable for children with malabsorption conditions requiring hydrolysed proteins and MCT fat for easier absorption. Available in 500ml Ready to Hang (RTH) containers in vanilla flavour.

Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed. It is suggested that patients consult with their dentist for further advice on oral hygiene.
