PediaSure® Peptide 1.5 Cal
High-Calorie Peptide-Based Nutrition for Kids with GI Intolerance

PediaSure® Peptide 1.5 Cal is a nutritionally complete, high-calorie, peptide-based formula designed for children ages 1–13 with malabsorption, maldigestion, or other gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. Formulated for enhanced tolerance and absorption, it delivers concentrated nutrition for kids with increased caloric needs or fluid restrictions — helping them grow, recover, and thrive.

Suitable for oral or tube feeding, and for supplemental or sole-source nutrition under medical supervision.
