Peptamen 1.5 is a peptide-based, calorically dense nutritional beverage formulated by Nestlé for individuals who need concentrated nutrition in a smaller serving volume. Each 250 mL carton delivers 375 calories, making it a practical choice for patients with elevated caloric needs or limited fluid tolerance. The vanilla flavor is pleasant for oral consumption while remaining fully appropriate for tube feeding when clinically indicated.
This formula is built around 100% whey protein that has been enzymatically hydrolyzed into smaller peptides, which supports easier digestion and helps promote gastric emptying. It's designed to be gentle on the digestive system while still delivering the complete amino acid profile the body needs. Fat in this formula is sourced from MCT (medium-chain triglycerides), which is easier to absorb and helps reduce the potential for fat malabsorption in sensitive patients.
Peptamen 1.5 Vanilla is a nutritionally complete oral supplement, meaning it includes a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals to support daily dietary requirements. It's ready-to-use straight from the carton — no water, mixing, or additional preparation required — making it convenient for both caregivers and patients. Each case includes two dozen 8.45-ounce (250 mL) cartons, providing a consistent supply for ongoing nutritional support.
