Nutren® Junior — Complete Pediatric Nutrition for Growing Kids

When children between 1 and 13 years old are unable to consume sufficient calories from regular foods, Nutren® Junior provides a scientifically balanced, nutrition-packed option to help meet their growth needs. It’s a formula designed to support tolerance, development, and overall health in kids who need supplemental nutrition.

Key Benefits & Features

• Specifically formulated for ages 1–13 — addresses pediatric nutritional needs when intake is limited.
• 50% whey protein — chosen to help promote better feeding tolerance in children who may struggle with digestion of other proteins.
• CalciLock® blend for bone support — includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins D, C & K to support healthy bone growth and maintenance.
• Gluten-free & suitable for lactose intolerance — reduces risks of digestive discomfort for children with sensitivities.
• Flavor options for flexibility — available in Vanilla for oral supplementation and Unflavored for tube feeding.
• Complete nutrition in one formula — provides a full spectrum of macronutrients (carbohydrate, fat, protein) and essential vitamins and minerals to support growth.

How & When to Use

• Use under medical supervision — this is a medical nutrition product meant to complement or replace conventional feeding when necessary.
• Choose the formulation appropriate for the child:

1.  Vanilla (flavored) version — for children able to drink the formula
2.  Unflavored version — designed for use via feeding tube

• Be sure to work with healthcare professionals (dietitians, pediatricians) to decide how many servings per day, depending on individual requirements.
• Do not use for IV (parenteral) nutrition — this product is intended for enteral (oral or tube) use only.

Shelf Life & Storage

While the public product page does not provide detailed storage or “hang time” specifics, standard best practices for ready-to-use pediatric nutrition formulas apply:

• Store unopened containers at room temperature in a cool, dry location.
• After opening or spiking, refrigerate immediately and use within institutional or product-label limits (commonly 24 hours in many clinical settings).
• Avoid freezing or subjecting the formula to high heat, as these may degrade nutrients or affect stability.
