Features & Benefits

High energy (1.13-2.41 kcal/ml ME)
1 month shelf life after opening
Goes through tubes as small as 5 Fr without clogging
Excellent for bolus tube feeding or syringe feeding
Appropriate low levels of carbohydrates and high levels of protein for the true carnivore
High quality, easily digestible forms of protein aid tissue synthesis and maintain lean body mass
Purified fiber sources to maintain intestinal motility and commensal microflora
Cellulose serves as a source of insoluble fiber and acts as a prebiotic
Essential amino acids to meet the needs of the metabolically stressed patient
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
Glutamine and arginine support immunity and antioxidant systems
Enterocyte health maintained and supported allowing for the maximum absorbable nutrition in the gastrointestinal tract

Omega-3 fatty acids to modulate the inflammatory response and aid in tissue synthesis
Synergistic antioxidants vitamin E, vitamin C, zinc and taurine to defend against oxidative stress
A-casozepine or dehydrated 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
Corn syrup solids essential for acute carbohydrate needs associated with debilitation. Partially hydrolyzed starch supplies glucose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, which avoids the osmotic problems associated with feeding only glucose
Balanced electrolytes
Stabilized vitamins and chelated minerals
Neutral pH
Free of artificial colors and preservatives
Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols and citric acid
Meets AAFCO nutritional requirements for all life stages
