KATE FARMS Organic Adult Peptide 1.0 Formula, Vanilla, Sole-Source, Hydrolyzed Plant-Based Nutrition for Oral or Tube Feeding, 11 Fl oz (12 Pack)

An amazing thing to have for patients with a compromised gut and undergoing cancer treatment. And the taste wasn’t bad.

Light, neutral taste. Easy on my stomach. Not overloaded with protein. I have tried several varieties/formulas from Kate Farms, and any of the vanilla taste nearly the same. I wouldnt say it is yummy but it is doable for what it formulated for. Also, take a look at the ingredient list, it rather amazes me that it is chock full of strong ingredients yet doesnt taste like it. Nothing really stands out. Kate Naturals does a good job with this. If drinking direct from container (not tube feed), I think it tastes best extra cold, but sometimes room temp feels better on stomach. Each formula at different price point. Science backed, clinically proven.For tube feeding, or drinking. I drink these as meal replacement. This has 1.0 calories per ML (they have a 1.5 cal per ml version). I have a lot of leeway with what I can eat and drink, so from a medical standpoint I dont necessarily need a special formula like this. I have tried their peptide drink, their glucose support formula (this applies to me), renal support, and pediatric support. I trust these formulas. Nothing stands out for as being detrimental for anyone to consume them that dont have specific issues to address, which is why I am comfortable trying any of them. If I had a specific issue, I would very much turn to Kate Farms. I would also recommend to people, and have. Especially for my elderly clients who aren't eating much. I had one comment that they appreciate that this isnt real sweet.For me, the peptide 1.0 is nice for meal replacement, especially on busy days when I really need the nutritional support but cant seem to bring myself to eat anything. I am not worried about caloric intake (I'll make up for it at dinner time), but if I were, then maybe I would check out the Peptide 1.5.I have easily aggravated stomach, and so far I have never had any distress from any of their formulas.I can drink cheapo protein drinks or nutrition drinks and know that I will get continued nutrition from other sources through the day, or upcoming days. These drinks are formulated for sole source nutrition. So you bet I would be much more discerning on what I drank (or gave someone) if my only nutrition was coming from a liquid formula. When this is taken into consideration, the price is a reasonable and in some cases a bargain compared to others of its ilk. (seriously, take a look for Nestle version at $1.08 per ounce versus Kate Naturals at $0.61 per ounce). I'm not comparing it to Ensure or whatever because it isnt the same thing ($0.29, and Boost half of that). Check out their standard formula for half the price of this one (edges closer to ensure etc). It all depends on the formula!! Hence, why I dont rate on price.Overall I think its a fantastic brand. I iwll always keep a case on hand (standard 1.0 or standard 1.4 for basic needs or this peptide)

Got sick from contaminated products and had no idea why because Amazon and Kate farms failed to inform me of a botulism outbreak and massive recall they had at the time. By a fluke I just found out that all of the products I ordered in May 2022 were recalled.

We’ve tried several varieties from Kate Farms, through the Vine reviewer program as well as purchased separately on subscription and sometimes on Prime day sales, with very positive results. I have an elderly who has mental/physical/dental issues, who we have been supplementing her diet with various nutritional supplements, and recently she’s been having major digestive issues. We are still getting all sorts of tests to be what the problem is. In the mean time, Kate Farms drinks seems to be generally better tolerated, which is still anecdotal only because I cannot completely assess the level of problems due to her mental issues compounding the problems. However, I see less visible signs of pain, which is sometimes all you can ask for, given the level of challenges. It’s funny, but not really funny, how much doctors can’t really help you when it comes to details that may matter and we are doing whatever we can, and I like that Kate Farms drinks may be helping. The flavors were all well received, no complaints. The list of vitamins are extensive and nutritional profile is at the most dense end of these style supplements or above. The ingredients are extremely organic focused and plant based.The price is definitely a potential barrier for long term use. We had one of them on subscribe & save to get the 15% discount, but got the notification yesterday that that particular flavor ran out of stock so it fell off of subscription. We were happy with the chance to test out some other ones, but need to decide how much and how long we can afford. If price is not an issue for another buyer, it may be worth a shot.

As a nutritional supplement, this is fairly good. Of course, you can't compare this to some sort of regular food treat. It's not that good, but it's certainly way better for you. But for those who need the nutrients in a drinkable or tube feeding way, this is about as good as it gets.The consistency is kind of thick, but not milkshake thick. It's just a bit thicker than whole milk. The vanilla tastes okay. If you are drinking this, you can easily doctor it up with something to make it more palatable to you such as with chocolate syrup, cinnamon, ginger, flavored extract or whatever suits your taste. Although, you maybe should talk with your doctor before doing so, especially if you are suffering from a variety of conditions that may be affected by what you might add.Really helpful to ensure that you receive your daily dose of vitamins. Especially good for those who cannot swallow pills and such.I personally have not had any issues with this. No discomfort in the digestive tract or other problems.The only problem I have with these is that they make me very thirsty after drinking. Think it has something to do with the milky coating. I always need water afterwards. Works well for me though and not a problem that I can't easily get around.
