VIVONEX® PLUS Free Amino Acid Formula contains 100% free amino acids, making it suitable for patients with impaired gastrointestinal function. Only 6% of its energy comes from fat, which suits patients who need to restrict fat, helps improve tolerance and reduces stimulation of the pancreas. It also contains L-Glutamine, L-Arginine and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), which patients with rapid metabolic breakdown can use directly. Patients need less digestive function, which eases the burden on the gut and benefits it.
For people with severely impaired gastrointestinal function resulting in:
• Severe malabsorption of protein and fat
• Bowel resection
• Malabsorption
• Post-operative feeding
• Intestinal failure
• Pancreatitis
• Chylothorax
• Patients moving from total parenteral nutrition (TPN) to oral or tube feeding
