Peptamen® with PREBIO¹™ — Gentle, Digestible Nutrition with Gut-Supportive Fiber
When your digestion is challenged—or your gastrointestinal (GI) function needs extra support—Peptamen® with PREBIO¹™ offers a specialized formula designed for tolerance, absorption, and digestive health.
Key Benefits & Features
- Peptide-based formula: Uses enzymatically hydrolyzed 100% whey protein, broken into smaller peptides to ease absorption and support the digestive process.
- Soluble fiber blend (PREBIO¹™): Contains ~4 g/L of inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides to help support growth of beneficial gut bacteria and promote bowel health.
- High MCT content: 70% of fat as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) to help with fat absorption and reduce the gastrointestinal burden.
- Balanced macronutrients: At 1.0 Cal/mL, with protein ~16%, carbohydrate ~50%, fat ~34%, it delivers complete nutrition in a moderate volume.
- Designed for GI impairment: Useful in conditions like malabsorption, pancreatitis, short bowel syndrome, chronic diarrhea, Crohn’s disease / IBD, delayed gastric emptying, certain cancer therapies, and other situations where normal digestion is compromised.
- Flexible administration: Suitable for both tube feeding and oral supplementation, depending on patient needs.
- Diet-friendly attributes: Gluten-free, suitable for lactose intolerance (but not for individuals with galactosemia).
How & When to Use It
- Use under medical supervision as part of a tailored nutrition plan.
- For tube feeding: can be used in continuous, cyclic, or bolus regimens as indicated clinically.
- For oral use: the “vanilla” flavored version is available for patients able to drink the formula.
- Best tolerated when chilled or at room temperature; avoid heating, which may affect formula stability.
Shelf Life & Storage
- Shelf life: Check the “Use By” or expiration date printed on the packaging.
- Before opening: Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place (no refrigeration required).
- After opening: Cover and refrigerate immediately; consume within 24 hours.
