Peptamen® 1.5 with PREBIO¹™ — High-Density, Peptide-Powered Enteral Nutrition with Gut Support

When standard tube-feeding formulas are too heavy or poorly tolerated, Peptamen® 1.5 with PREBIO¹™ offers a clinically designed solution. This formula is engineered for patients who require concentrated nutrition in a gentle, digestible format—especially in cases of GI stress, malabsorption, or volume-sensitive regimens.

Key Benefits & Features

• 1.5 kcal/mL, ~1500 kcal per 1000 mL bag — delivers full nutritional support in lower volume, ideal for patients on fluid restriction or limited tolerance.
• Peptide-based, enzymatically hydrolyzed 100% whey protein — supports improved digestion and absorption; may facilitate gastric emptying.
• 70% of fat from medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) — easier to absorb and gentler on the GI tract.
• Soluble fiber blend (PREBIO¹™) — includes inulin and fructo-oligosaccharides to support beneficial gut microbiota and intestinal health.
• Balanced peptide profile — designed to enhance GI absorption and reduce digestive burden.
• Ready-to-hang, closed-system SpikeRight® PLUS bag — simplifies feeding setup, improves safety (non-compatible with IV systems), and reduces contamination risk.
• Suitable for special diets — lactose intolerance, gluten-free, kosher (check labeling)
• Medical supervision required — intended for tube-feeding use under dietitian or physician guidance; not for individuals with galactosemia or cow’s milk allergy.

When & How to Use

• Ideal in settings of impaired GI function, such as:

1. Malabsorption, short bowel syndrome
2. Chronic diarrhea, Crohn’s / IBD
3. Pancreatitis
4. Delayed gastric emptying
5. Fluid/volume restrictions
6. Transition from parenteral nutrition
7. Early enteral feeding protocols

• Use via enteral feeding tube only (continuous, cyclic or bolus), following standard clinical protocols.
• Do not heat — use at room or slightly chilled temperature for best tolerance.
• Follow institution / clinician guidelines for hang time and feeding set changes (closed system design supports up to 48 hours in many protocols).

Shelf Life & Storage

• Check “Use By” date on the product label before use.
• Before opening / spiking: Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place. (No refrigeration required.)
• After spiking / opening: Because this is a closed system ready-to-hang bag, the hanging time is up to 48 hours (per many institutional protocols) when using SpikeRight® PLUS.
• Do not freeze or expose to high temperatures.
• Avoid heating to preserve nutrient integrity and formula stability.
