Description
Key Features:
Easy to Digest: The formula uses small, pre-digested protein fragments (peptides) and easily absorbed fats (MCTs). This makes it gentle on the digestive system for people with impaired GI function.
High in Calories: With 1.5 calories per mL, it's a calorie-dense option. This is helpful for patients who need to get a lot of nutrition in a small amount of liquid, like those with fluid restrictions.
Complete Nutrition: It can be used as the sole source of nutrition because it contains a full range of vitamins and minerals.
Specialized Formula: It is lactose-free, gluten-free, and has a low-residue content, making it suitable for a variety of specific dietary needs.
Ready-to-Use: The product comes in convenient, pre-packaged cartons.
