Suplena Carb Steady is a clinically designed therapeutic nutrition formula specifically formulated for non-dialyzed individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who require a low-protein diet without developing protein-energy wasting (malnutrition). It can be administered orally or via tube feeding, serving as either a primary or supplemental source of nutrition. This formula provides concentrated calories and carefully balanced nutrients while supporting renal dietary needs. Use under medical supervision to ensure optimal nutritional management. Suplena Carb Steady includes CARBSTEADY, a unique carbohydrate blend clinically shown to help minimize blood sugar response, while also being low in phosphorus and potassium, making it ideal for patients managing chronic kidney disease.
