If your child is struggling with symptoms of ‘intolerance’^ with other nutritional supplements, or they have a medical condition which means that their bodies can’t absorb the nutrients they need properly, their healthcare professional (e.g. GP or nurse) might recommend PaediaSure Peptide.
PaediaSure Peptide contains vitamins, energy and protein and has been designed for those who have GI (Gastrointestinal) intolerance. The proteins in it are partially broken down which makes them easier for your childs body to absorb.
^ Intolerance symptoms can include reflux, diarrhoea and vomiting.
PaediaSure Peptide is a milkshake-style nutritional supplement for children who weigh between 8 kg and 30 kg or are aged 1-10 years who may be experiencing GI symptoms that mean they aren’t able to absorb all of the important nutrients their body needs.
PaediaSure Peptide comes as a ready-to-use milkshake-style drink and is available in a great-tasting vanilla flavour.

GI conditions affect the gut or digestive system. Our digestive system breaks down the food that we eat into nutrients that are absorbed by the body. These nutrients give children the energy they need to keep them healthy.1
Common symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders in children include:1

HOW DOES MY CHILD TAKE PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE?
PaediaSure Peptide is a ready-to-drink nutritional supplement that can be drunk straight from the bottle or poured into a cup. It is best served chilled.
PaediaSure Peptide will be recommended by your child’s healthcare professional. They will tell you how much you need to give your child and how often, as each child has their own individual needs. It is important that you follow the guidance given to your child.
PaediaSure Peptide may also be recommended to your child as a 500 ml, ready-to-hang tube feed if they aren’t able to get all of the nutrition they need by mouth. Your healthcare professional will direct you on how and when it needs to be given.
HOW TO STORE PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE
Store unopened at room temperature. Best served chilled, so can be placed in the fridge before use. Make sure you check the best before date and shake well before opening. If your child doesn’t drink all of the bottle in one go, replace the lid and keep in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
IS PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE SUITABLE FOR MY CHILD’S SPECIFIC DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
