Paediasure Tube Feed (500ml):@@:
PaediaSure is suitable for the dietary management of children weighing 8-30kg with, or at risk of developing disease-related malnutrition. PaediaSure provides 1.0kcal/ml and is available both as a 500ml Ready to Hang tube feed and as a 200ml oral nutritional supplement.
The milkshake style oral nutritional supplement is ready-to-drink and available in four flavours: banana, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. It’s presented in a bottle with a straw for sipping and a peel-off seal for pouring. It’s best served chilled and can be frozen into cubes and lollipops. Chocolate flavour also tastes great when warmed and served as a hot drink – it should never be boiled, however, as this can destroy some of the much-needed nutrients.
One of the most crucial phases of a child’s growing years is 2 to 10 years of age. During this time, children undergo a significant increase in physical development and mental development. Fussy eating in children eating can lead to nutrition gaps which may affect their growth. Ideal growth and development happen only with adequate nutrition.
PaediaSure is a science-based nutritional supplement that provides complete, balanced nutrition for children from age 2 to 10 – those special years of rapid growth and mental development. When consumed in the right amounts, PaediaSure is scientifically formulated to provide 100% of the energy, vitamins and minerals, and a balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates that children require for growth and health.
• Presented in 200 ml (201 kcal) bottles/tetrapaks*, 250 ml (252 kcal) cans and 500 ml (503 kcal) Ready to Hang (RTH) containers.
• All presentations are available in vanilla flavour. The 200 ml presentation is also available in banana, strawberry and chocolate flavours.
