Enhance nutrition, one ounce at a time
When diet alone is not enough, Active Liquid Protein with high protein content helps residents and patients get back to being themselves.
Adequate protein intake plays an important role in improving many conditions commonly found in the elderly. Protein deficiency contributes to:
- Poorer healing
- Increased skin fragility
- Decreased immune function
- Longer recuperation from illness in older adults.
Patients who test for poor nutrition when they are admitted to the ICU may benefit most significantly from greater protein and energy intake, especially during longer ICU stays.
Inadequate protein intake can also adversely affect wound healing:
- Protein deficiency has been shown to contribute to poor wound healing rates with reduced collagen formation and can result in wounds rupturing along the surgical incision.
- High wound exudate loss can result in a deficit of as much as 100 grams of protein in one day. This subsequently needs to be replaced with a high protein diet.
