Peptamen Peptide-Based Diet Powder Vanilla contains 40.3 gm of hydrolyzed whey protein per liter and is rich in MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides). It is designed to improve tolerance in individuals with impaired gastrointestinal (GI) functions by providing targeted nutritional support. The nitrogen from whey peptides is well tolerated, absorbed, and utilized by the body. This formula can be used for total enteral support through tube feeding or oral administration.
Peptamen Whey Peptide-Based Diet, Vanilla Flavor Powder, is a nutritionally complete formula from Nestlé Health Science built for people whose gastrointestinal function is impaired. Rather than using intact whey protein, it uses enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein protein already broken down into smaller peptides so it is easier for a compromised digestive system to absorb. It provides 40.3g of hydrolyzed whey protein per litre when mixed as directed, is rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), and can be used as a complete enteral diet, whether taken orally or delivered through tube feeding under medical guidance.
This formula is designed for individuals with conditions that make normal digestion and nutrient absorption difficult, including malabsorption, short bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, Crohn’s disease and other forms of inflammatory bowel disease, delayed gastric emptying, and chronic diarrhoea. Because the protein and fat sources are already broken down into easily absorbed forms, the formula is intended to reduce the digestive workload while still meeting daily nutritional needs, and it should be used as part of a nutrition plan supervised by a doctor or dietitian.
Approximate nutritional profile: around 469 kcal and 18.3g protein per 100g of powder, with roughly 70% of total fat from MCT and the remainder from long-chain triglycerides, formulated to meet daily vitamin and mineral needs when taken at the recommended volume.
