Why should you choose Peptamen®?
Peptamen® is a scientifically proven nutritional solution that meets patients’ specific needs. Its proven effectiveness makes it a reliable choice for providing high-quality care and improving patients' overall health.
What is the difference between Peptamen® and other formulas?
Peptamen® distinguishes itself from other enteral nutrition products through its unique formulation of 100% hydrolyzed whey protein and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), enhancing digestibility and tolerance. It is backed by extensive clinical evidence, demonstrating lower gastrointestinal intolerance compared to standard formulas.1-3 Additionally, Peptamen® offers a versatile range of specialized nutritional solutions tailored to the needs of patients with gastrointestinal disorders, while also being cost-effective in reducing care expenses associated with enteral feeding intolerance.3
How can Peptamen® support your treatment strategies?
1. Clinically proven digestibility and absorption
Peptamen® utilizes hydrolyzed whey protein and MCTs to improve gastrointestinal tolerance (GI) in patients with compromised digestive systems. This unique formulation minimizes the risk of feeding intolerance, allowing for more effective nutritional support and quicker energy replenishment. The readily absorbed MCTs provide an ideal energy source for patients who require rapid energy restoration.4
