Peptamen 1.5 with PREBIO¹ — High-Density, Gut-Friendly Peptide Formula
When gastrointestinal tolerance is challenged, or when you need more nutrition in less volume, Peptamen® 1.5 with PREBIO¹™ delivers a peptide-based, calorically dense, and gut-supportive formula designed for both oral and tube feeding use.
Key Benefits & Features
- 1.5 kcal/mL energy density — delivers full nutrition in lower volume, useful for patients with fluid or volume restrictions.
- Peptide-based formula using enzymatically hydrolyzed 100% whey protein — supports easier digestion and absorption, and may help promote gastric emptying.
- PREBIO¹™ soluble fiber blend (6.4 g/L) — includes inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides to support gut health by encouraging beneficial bacteria growth.
- 70% of fat from MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) — enhances fat absorption and is gentler on the digestive tract.
