Standard, High-Calorie, Peptide and Blenderized Formats
Pediatric supplements are stocked in standard 1.0 cal/mL and high-calorie 1.5 cal/mL densities, with fiber-containing versions across most lines. Peptide-based pediatric formula such as PediaSure Peptide uses hydrolyzed protein for children with impaired digestion. Blenderized real-food formula such as Compleat Pediatric is stocked for tube-fed children on whole-food regimens. Ready-to-drink formats support oral supplementation, and ready-to-hang closed systems support tube feeding.
Pediatric supplements are a recurring nutrition line for children's hospitals and pediatric home enteral nutrition, with steady oral ready-to-drink turnover and a defined tube-feed segment. High-volume ready-to-drink lines support standing orders while peptide and blenderized formats are ordered against defined census, which together make case pricing central for materials management. MAP Medical stocks the pediatric supplement range under one wholesale account. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between standard and high-calorie pediatric supplements?
Standard pediatric supplements are 1.0 cal/mL and cover routine oral and tube nutrition, while high-calorie versions such as PediaSure 1.5 Cal and Boost Kid Essentials 1.5 deliver 1.5 cal/mL in the same or smaller volume for children needing concentrated calories. Both densities are stocked in ready-to-drink and, for the higher density, tube-feed formats. Fiber-containing versions are carried across most lines.
What is peptide-based pediatric formula?
Peptide-based pediatric formula such as PediaSure Peptide uses partially hydrolyzed (peptide) protein for children with impaired digestion or malabsorption. It sits between standard intact-protein pediatric formula and amino-acid formula. The catalog stocks peptide pediatric formula alongside standard and high-calorie lines in ready-to-drink and tube-feed formats.
What is blenderized real-food pediatric formula?
Blenderized real-food formula such as Compleat Pediatric is made from whole-food ingredients for tube-fed children on real-food regimens, and is stocked in ready-to-hang and pouch formats. It is carried alongside standard formula-based pediatric products so programs can offer both formula-based and real-food tube-feed options.
Can pediatric programs order nutrition supplements in bulk?
Yes. Pediatric nutrition supplements are stocked in case quantities for pediatric floors, children's hospitals, pediatric GI clinics, home enteral nutrition programs and licensed distributors. Standing order programs are available for high-volume ready-to-drink lines such as PediaSure Grow and Gain. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What pediatric supplements should be in a facility formulary?
A working pediatric supplement formulary typically includes a standard 1.0 cal/mL ready-to-drink line, a high-calorie 1.5 cal/mL line, a fiber-containing version, a peptide-based option, a ready-to-hang closed system for tube feeding and a blenderized real-food option.
