Peptamen Vanilla 400gm Powder

Peptamen Vanilla 400gm Powder is a peptide-based diet powder containing hydrolysed whey protein and Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT), formulated for the dietary management of individuals with impaired gastrointestinal (GI) functions.

Benefits

Nitrogen from whey peptides is well tolerated, absorbed, and efficiently utilised by the body. Whey protein promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting intestinal health. MCT aids in the digestion process and contributes to improved gut and metabolic health. Taurine helps prevent bacterial colonisation in the gut and enhances the digestion of fats and oils. This formulation also encourages the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals from food. Peptamen is naturally gluten-free and suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance.
