Peptamen® Intense VHP — Very High Protein Peptide Nutrition for GI Support

For patients who need exceptionally high protein in a formula that’s gentle on the gut, Peptamen® Intense VHP delivers. Designed for individuals with impaired GI function or critically elevated protein requirements, it combines powerful nutrition with digestive tolerance.

Key Benefits & Features

• Very high protein (37% of calories) — among the highest protein concentrations in complete enteral formulas, helping preserve lean body mass even under stress.
• Peptide-based from 100% whey — enzymatically hydrolyzed peptides promote absorption and are better tolerated by compromised GI systems.
• 50% of fat as MCTs — medium-chain triglycerides are easier to digest and support fat absorption.
• Contains EPA & DHA (omega-3s) — supports modulation of inflammation in critical or stress states.
• Reduced carbohydrate content — tailored to help with glycemic management in vulnerable patients.
• 4 g/L PREBIO¹™ soluble fiber blend — supports growth of beneficial gut bacteria and digestive health.
• Gluten-free & suitable for lactose intolerance — though not appropriate for those with galactosemia or cow’s milk protein allergy.

How & When to Use

• Intended for tube feeding under medical supervision; not for intravenous (parenteral) use.
• Especially useful in patients with impaired GI function such as malabsorption, pancreatitis, short bowel, or post-surgical GI injury.
• Also suitable for use in critically ill or obese patients who require a higher protein to calorie ratio.
• Follow standard enteral feeding methods (continuous, bolus, cyclic) as directed by care team.

Storage & Handling

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature before use.
• Once opened or spiked, refrigerate and use within your facility’s allowable “hang time” (commonly 24 hours).
• Avoid freezing or overheating, which may damage nutrient integrity.
