Peptamen Junior Infant Formula (12+ Months), 400g – Specialized Nutrition

English Description:

Peptamen Junior is a specialized medical food formulated for infants and young children (12 months and older) experiencing digestive difficulties and impaired nutrient absorption. This hypoallergenic formula features 100% enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein, broken down into smaller peptides for easier digestion and absorption, even in the presence of inflammation.

Key Benefits:

• Improved Digestion & Absorption: The hydrolyzed whey protein minimizes digestive stress and maximizes nutrient uptake, overcoming issues associated with malabsorption syndromes.
• Rapid Gastric Emptying: Whey protein promotes faster gastric emptying, reducing the risk of reflux.

• Balanced Amino Acid Profile: Supports muscle growth, immune function, and overall development. High in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
