Product Introduction

Nestle Peptamen Powder is a peptide-based nutritional supplement for the management of patients with impaired gastrointestinal functioning and inability to absorb nutrients from conventional food sources. This nutrition drink addresses nutritional needs in patients who have difficulty digesting or absorbing nutrients from traditional meals. Peptamen is formulated with hydrolyzed whey protein, which enables faster absorption. It contains higher concentrations of small peptides to facilitate easier absorption. The formulation includes essential minerals such as calcium carbonate, riboflavin, and folic acid, along with vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, and biotin, as well as medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Nestle Peptamen is indicated for patients with pancreatic insufficiency, short-bowel syndrome, and chronic diarrhoea. It is also appropriate for patients with lactose intolerance and those requiring a gluten-free diet. This product is contraindicated in patients with known allergy to the product or any of its powder ingredients.
