For the dietary management of:

Disease-related malnutrition.
Patients with reduced energy requirements (e.g. patients who are immobile and/or have a severe neurological disorder).

Features
• Suitable as a sole source of nutrition.^
• 0.83kcal/ml: for patients requiring lower energy diets.1-3
• 55g protein (27%E) per 1000ml: to meet the protein requirements of patients with low energy requirements.
• 15g of MF6* fibre blend per 1000ml: to help maintain normal bowel function
• Fish oils: providing Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
• Medium chain triglycerides (MCT): for easier fat digestion and absorption.4-5
• Whey-dominant P4 protein blend: in line with international recommendations on protein quality/amino acid profile and for gastro-intestinal tolerance benefits. 6-13
• Enriched with carotenoids: in line with general health recommendations for their antioxidant properties and positive effect on immune function.14
• 1000ml OpTri bottle: suitable for closed or open system feeding via ISO compliant flip-top screw cap.
