Nestle PEPTAMEN 1.5 Cal Whey Peptide Formula

The Nestle Peptamen 1.5 Complete Calorically Dense Peptide-Based Nutrition is a specialized Feeding Formula made for easy digestion and absorption for GI-compromised patients and normal or increased caloric requirements. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a vital organ system in humans which consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach and small and large intestines. This system plays a critical role in regulating your body's energy homeostasis. When your body works to digest your food intake it removes and takes in energy from the nutrients in the food you have consumed and rids away the remaining waste. Standard caloric requirements for men is around (2,500kcal) a day. For women, this number is (2,000kcal) a day. These values can vary depending on physical activity, metabolism, and age.
