One month shelf life after opening

Goes through tubes as small as 5Fr without clogging

Excellent for bolus tube feeding or syringe feeding (not recommended for CRI pumps)

Species-specific nutritional formulation

Essential and conditionally essential amino acids to meet the needs of the metabolically stressed patient

Lean body mass and wound healing promoted with high-quality, easily digestible protein plus omega-3 fatty acids to aid in tissue synthesis

Enriched in branched chain amino acids to benefit muscle synthesis and repair

Hydrolyzed soy protein minimizes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. These highly digestible macronutrients prevent and manage osmotic diarrhea, as is associated with completely elemental diets

Purified fiber sources to maintain intestinal motility and commensal microflora

Cellulose serves as a source of insoluble fiber and acts as a prebiotic

Higher fiber plus highly digestible soy protein means the incidence of diarrhea is lower than with other critical care formulas

Glutamine and arginine support immunity and antioxidant systems

Enterocyte health maintained and supported allowing for the maximum absorbable nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract

Synergistic antioxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc, and taurine to defend against oxidative stress

Casein supports digestion of fats and tissue synthesis while providing anxiolytic properties

L-tryptophan, a precursor for the synthesis of serotonin, to reduce stress

Dietary nucleotides provide RNA and DNA precursors to support the immune system, nourish the gastrointestinal tract, and assist in weight gain

Hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose. Vital for the acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation.

Balanced electrolytes

Stabilized vitamins and chelated minerals

Free of artificial colors and preservatives

Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid

Meets AAFCO nutritional requirements for adult maintenance
