PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal, Unflavored, 24/CS

PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal is a nutritionally complete, peptide-based formula specifically designed for children ages 1 to 13 who experience gastrointestinal (GI) impairment or malabsorption. This unflavored formula provides a balanced source of calories, protein, and essential nutrients to support growth and development in kids who cannot tolerate standard intact protein formulas. Whether used as a sole source of nutrition or as a supplement, it is engineered to be easy on sensitive digestive systems.

The specialized blend features hydrolyzed whey protein, which is broken down into small peptides to ensure rapid absorption and improved tolerance. It is also enriched with prebiotics to support gut health and a potent blend of antioxidants, including Vitamins C and E and Selenium, to bolster the immune system. Because it is unflavored, it is an ideal choice for tube feeding or for children who are sensitive to artificial flavors and sweeteners.

Physicians often recommend PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal for pediatric patients dealing with conditions such as cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, short bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease. This formula provides the caloric density needed to maintain a healthy weight while ensuring the child receives the vitamins and minerals necessary for their specific stage of development.

Q: Can infants use PediaSure Peptide 1.0 Cal?
A: This product is specifically formulated for children between the ages of 1 and 13. It is not intended for infant use unless specifically directed by a medical professional.

Q: Is the unflavored version completely tasteless?
A: While "unflavored," peptide-based formulas have a distinct scent and mild taste due to the broken-down proteins. The unflavored version is most commonly used for tube feeding or mixed with other foods as directed.
