• Fat: ≈6.7 g/100 mL with long‑chain omega‑3s from fish oil; DHA ≈53 mg/100 mL, EPA ≈12.6 mg/100 mL; omega‑6:omega‑3 ≈3.8:1; no added MCT.
• Carbohydrate/lactose: Maltodextrin included; very low lactose (<0.025 g/100 mL).
• Fibre: 0.8 g/100 mL via MF6 multi‑fibre blend (soy polysaccharide, cellulose, resistant starch, gum arabic, oligofructose, inulin); ~50% soluble : 50% insoluble (4 g/500 mL).
• Key per 100 mL: Energy ≈150 kcal; carbohydrate ≈18.5 g (sugars ≈1.1 g); fat saturates ≈0.8 g, monounsaturates ≈3.9 g, polyunsaturates ≈2.0 g; water ≈77 mL; calcium:phosphorus ≈1.2:1.
• Physical: Osmolality ≈405 mOsmol/kg H2O.
• Use: Suitable when bowel irregularities (constipation or diarrhoea) may benefit from fibre.

Nutrini Peptisorb Energy (1.5 kcal/mL; semi‑elemental)

• Age/weight range: 1–10 years (≈8–45 kg); suitable as a sole source of nutrition within this range.

• Fat: ≈6.6 g/100 mL with ~51% as MCT to aid digestion/absorption; fish oil providing DHA ≈53.9 mg/100 mL and EPA ≈13.8 mg/100 mL; omega‑6:omega‑3 ≈6.7:1.
• Carbohydrate/lactose: Maltodextrin included; very low lactose (≈0.1 g/100 mL).
• Fibre: <0.5 g/100 mL (inulin, oligofructose); not suitable when a fibre‑free diet is required.
• Key per 100 mL: Energy 150 kcal; protein ≈4.2 g; carbohydrate ≈18.6 g (sugars ≈0.4 g); saturates ≈4.0 g; MCT ≈3.4 g; monounsaturates ≈0.8 g; polyunsaturates ≈1.8 g; water ≈77 mL; selected minerals/vitamins include sodium ≈95 mg, potassium ≈168 mg, calcium ≈130 mg, phosphorus ≈99 mg; vitamins A ≈62 µg RE, D ≈1.9 µg, E ≈2 mg α‑TE, C ≈15 mg; calcium:phosphorus ≈1.3:1.
• Physical: Osmolality ≈510 mOsmol/kg H2O.
• Use: For severe malabsorption and/or maldigestion from 1 year of age.

Directions and handling

• Use at room temperature; shake well and handle aseptically.
• Typical maximum hanging time up to 24 hours in a closed/aseptically managed system (shorter if used as an open system).
• Intake and rate to be determined by a healthcare professional.

Important notices

• Not suitable for infants <1 year; not for patients with galactosaemia; not for parenteral use.
