PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE
WHY HAS PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE BEEN RECOMMENDED TO MY CHILD?
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.
WHAT IS PAEDIASURE PEPTIDE?
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.
WHAT IS A GI DISORDER?
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
- A feeling of needing to be sick or being sick
- Diarrhoea
- Stomach pain
- Not feeling hungry
- Finding it hard to poo or not pooing as often
