Peptamen® Junior Fiber — Peptide Nutrition with Added Fiber for Kids

Peptamen® Junior Fiber is a specially formulated, peptide-based pediatric nutrition solution designed to support children (ages 1–13) with impaired gastrointestinal (GI) function. It combines gentle digestion with added fiber to promote bowel health and better tolerance.

Key Benefits & Features

• Peptide-based & gentle digestion: Uses 100% whey protein, enzymatically hydrolyzed into peptides—easier to absorb and gentle on the GI tract.
• Balanced fiber blend: Contains 4 g/L partially hydrolyzed guar gum (soluble fiber) plus 4 g/L pea fiber (insoluble fiber). This mix helps support bowel regularity and digestive function.
• Complete pediatric nutrition: Provides full nutrition (carbs, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals) in a formula that can serve as a sole source of nutrition under medical supervision.
• Bone-support “CalciLock®” blend: Includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and vitamins D, C & K to support healthy bone development.
• Diet-friendly attributes

1. Gluten-free & lactose-free
2. Available in vanilla flavor for oral or tube use
3. Not suitable for children with galactosemia or cow’s milk protein allergy

How & When to Use It

• Intended for children ages 1–13 who have GI compromise, malabsorption, or feeding intolerance.
• Can be used orally (flavored version) if tolerated, or via feeding tube (unflavored version) depending on the child’s condition.
• Must be used under medical supervision, as part of a clinical nutrition plan.

Shelf Life & Storage

• Store unopened containers at room temperature, in a cool, dry place (avoid extreme heat or sunlight).
• After opening or spiking, refrigerate and use within 24 hours (or follow institutional hang-time guidelines for closed systems).
• Do not freeze or heat the formula, as that may degrade nutrients or alter consistency.
