Kate Farms Pediatric 1.5 Plant-Based Peptide Formula Overview

Kate Farms Pediatric 1.5 Peptide Nutritional Formula is the first plant-based enteral feeding formula to support diverse dietary needs. This specialized formula provides complete nutrition while being mindful of digestion issues when the child has difficulty absorbing dairy, wheat, and other common allergens. It is also higher in calories than Pediatric Standard 1.2 for children with higher nutritional needs and caloric needs to support weight gain. Choose from a great-tasting vanilla flavor for oral consumption or an unflavored option for administering in tube feeding.

Product Features

Ideal for Volume Intolerance
This formula is designed for tube feeding and works well for children requiring an enteral pump which slows down feeding when their digestive system can't handle a large volume. It flows smoothly through tubes as small as 6.5 French without needing to introduce water.

Hypoallergenic Formula for Improved Tolerance
This calorically rich formula is plant-based, lactose-free, and gluten-free to support dietary restrictions from known food sensitivities. Kate Farms uses high-quality hydrolyzed pea protein which is naturally rich in iron and amino acidsand is easy to digest to prevent upset tummies.¹

Promotes Muscle Growth
Pea protein contains the essential amino acids that promote muscle growth and healthy development.¹

Easy To Digest
In addition to smooth digestible pea protein, Kate Farms Pediatric Peptide contains prebiotic agave soluble inulin fiber that feeds the healthy gut bacteria. This improves digestion to preserve a healthy gut.²
