About Kate Farms Pediatric Peptide 1.5 Sole-Source Nutrition Formula, Vanilla, 8.5 oz.
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. While symptom management always comes first, you want to give them the best possible nutrition and until now finding a formula that met both those requirements wasn’t possible. This organic, plant-based pediatric 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.
