What is different and what makes Vital 1.5kCal by Abbott Nutrition unique?
Vital 1.5kCal by Abbott Nutrition is a peptide based formulation and whey dominant. Peptide based formulas contain protein that is hydrolyzed or pre-digested into peptides of varying lengths including di- and tri-peptides, and amino acids. The protein sources in Vital 1.5kCal are whey hydrolysates and casein hydrolysates. Whey and casein are high quality proteins that are naturally found in combination, such as in breast milk and cow milk.
Whey Pepides are partially broken down proteins, which makes them easier to digest and absorb in the gut then whole proteins.
When compared with formulas containing only free amino acids or intact proteins, peptide-based formulas provide better absorption and tolerance.
