PediaSure
 
USAGE
A nutritionally complete and balanced formula that is clinically proven to promote catch-up growth. It is ideal for children who
 
   1. Are picky eaters and selective in foods.
   2. Need extra nutrition for catch up growth.
   3. Have increased caloric and nutrient requirements.
   4. Have poor weight and height gain.
   5. Are under nourished or have decreased food intake due to illness or diminished appetite.
   6. Are lactose intolerant.
   7. In pre-post recovery.
 
PediaSure is specially formulated for children 1 to 10 years of age and it meets or exceeds 100% of the NAS-NRC RDAs (National Academy of Science and the National Research Council) for protein, vitamins and minerals for children 1 to 6 years of age in 1000 ml, and for children 7 to 10 years of age in 1300 ml.
 
PediaSure provides complete balanced nutrition. Because of this, PediaSure can be used as “a complete meal in a glass.” It can be used as a nutritional supplement with or between meals, or as an ingredient in recipes to help add calories to your child's favorite meals and snacks. PediaSure may also be a sole source of nutrition as directed and supervised by a doctor. Talk to your child's doctor about how PediaSure may help meet your child's nutritional needs.
 
BENEFITS
Milk-based, complete and balanced nutrition from a balanced caloric distribution of protein, fat and carbohydrate (12% protein; 44% fat; 44% carbohydrate) to meet a growing child's nutritional needs.
 
Well-absorbed fat blend containing high source of oleic sunflower oil, soy oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). Sunflower and soy oils are beneficial to children because they provide both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, are rich in the essential fatty acids linoleic acid and linolenic acid (which are required for the natural synthesis of DHA and AA for brain development) and contain no cholesterol.
 
MCTs comprised 20% of the fat blend and provide the benefit of a form of fat that more readily absorbed and easily digested to produce energy and improve vitamin and mineral absorption.
 
Dual Carbohydrate (a blend of two carbohydrates) in PediaSure is digested and absorbed completely without exceeding the threshold of intolerance.
 
Caloric density of 1 kcal per ml (50% more than normal growing up milk) to meet the increased energy needs.
 
Calcium: phosphorus ratio that is conformed to AAPCON (American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition) recommendations to support skeletal growth and maintenance of mineral balance.
 
Fortified with carnitine and taurine. Carnitine is important for the fatty metabolism. Taurine plays a key role in bodily function. It facilitates retinal function and normal bile acid metabolism and may support normal brain development.
 
For oral or tube feeding.
 
Gluten-free and lactose-free. (Not for children with galactosemia.)
 
"Kid Approved" flavors in vanilla and chocolate.
