Kate Farms Pediatric Peptide 1.5 is a complete nutrition, higher calorie pediatric tube feeding formula made for kids ages 1 to 13 years with trouble digesting. Just because your child has impaired digestion doesn’t mean you have to compromise quality nutrition.

This organic, plant-based peptide formula features hydrolyzed pea protein, functional fats, and corn-free carbohydrates so your kids are getting the nutrition they need for weight gain and healthy development. Suitable for short or long-term tube feeding.
