How does Peptamen Formula work?

Peptamen tube-feeding formulas are specialized enteral nutrition designed to support absorption and tolerance in individuals with gastrointestinal disorders. GI disorders can cause nutritional challenges. Depending on the severity of the condition, intake, and digestion of nutrients can be challenging. Peptamen tube-feeding formulas can help address these challenges so you can nourish daily with confidence.

Peptamen tube-feeding formulas are advised for people who:

• Cannot tolerate normal formulas, often known as intact or full protein formulations
• Have digestive issues that could cause nausea, vomiting, or pain when receiving tube feedings
• May have issues absorbing or digesting protein

Frequnetly Asked Question

What are peptides?

Peptides are small pieces of protein that have been broken down or pre-digested into little fragments that are more easily absorbed and further digested in the intestinal tract. The protein in Peptamen tube-feeding formulas is in the form of comparably small peptides, facilitating both digestion and absorption of protein.

Are Peptamen formulas only for tube feeding?

Peptamen tube-feeding formulas can also be consumed orally, but only if that is what your doctor has prescribed. Be sure to follow the instructions from your healthcare team to understand best why they have chosen either a feeding tube or oral intake for your nutrition.

Why is protein so important in a GI disorder?

Protein helps build and maintain tissues in the body. Muscles, organs, and the immune system are made up of protein. The protein source in tube-feeding formulas typically comes from milk or soy.
