Title: Peptamen Junior Infant Formula (12+ Months) – 400g Specialized Medical Nutrition
Enhanced Description
Peptamen Junior is a specialized medical food formulated for infants aged 12 months and older experiencing digestive problems that hinder nutrient absorption. This hypoallergenic formula features 100% enzymatically hydrolyzed whey protein, broken down into easily digestible oligopeptides. This ensures optimal nutrient uptake, even in the presence of inflammation or enzyme deficiencies.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Digestion and Absorption: Hydrolyzed whey protein promotes rapid and efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients, minimizing digestive distress.
- Reduced Reflux Risk: The whey protein base contributes to faster gastric emptying, reducing the risk of reflux.
- Gentle on the System: Low osmolarity (260 mOsm/kg) and lactose-free for superior tolerability.
- Optimal Nutrient Profile: Provides a balanced profile of essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) crucial for muscle growth and repair.
- Energy Boost: 70% of energy comes from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easily absorbed and utilized even with malabsorption syndromes.
- Anti-inflammatory Support: High levels of cysteine support glutathione synthesis, aiding in the control of inflammation. The balanced ratio of ARA and DHA further contributes to anti-inflammatory effects.
- Improved Gut Microcirculation: Promotes healthy nutrient delivery through improved intestinal microcirculation.
- Suitable as a Sole Source of Nutrition: Can be used as the primary source of nutrition when regular food is poorly absorbed.
- Clinically Proven: Supported by over 30 major international and Russian studies, including use with children with cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, and other conditions.
- Manufactured by Nestlé Health Science: Produced in Konolfingen, Switzerland, by a leading manufacturer of medical nutrition products.
- Inclusion in Russian Disability Programs: Since 2022, Peptamen Junior has been included in the list of medical nutrition for children with disabilities, integrated into comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
