Peptamen Junior with Fiber

Peptamen Junior with Fiber Complete Peptide-Based Elemental Liquid Diet for Children provides a specifically designed protein, lipid, vitamin and mineral profile for children ages 1 to 10 with impaired gastrointestinal function. Designed to be well tolerated by your most challenging pediatric patients, Peptamen Junior with Fiber features PREBIO¹™ , a unique prebiotic fiber blend, and insoluble fiber. Prebiotics may support gut integrity and a healthy gut microbiota. Insoluble fiber may positively influence stool consistency and bowel patterns, that can be extended to individuals requiring long term enteral feeds.

PEPTAMEN JUNIOR FIBER provides complete or supplemental nutrition support and may also be used as a dual feeding with TPN or as a transition diet from TPN.
