Description

Nutrini Peptisorb is a specialised enteral tube feed designed for children aged 1 to 6 years, or those weighing between 8 to 20 kg. This ready-to-use, fibre-free formulation is crafted to address the dietary needs associated with disease-related malnutrition, particularly in cases involving severe malabsorption and maldigestion. It serves as a complete nutritional source, intended for use under medical supervision.

Key Features

• Hydrolysed Whey Protein: The protein content is derived entirely from hydrolysed whey, predominantly composed of short chain peptides and amino acids. This composition enhances absorption and improves tolerance.
• Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT): A significant portion of the fat content is MCT, facilitating better fat digestion and absorption.
• Low Lactose: Suitable for children with lactose sensitivity, containing less than 2g of lactose per 100g.
• Carotenoid Enrichment: Adds nutritional value without the inclusion of fibre.
