Vital 1.0 Cal Peptide-Based Therapeutic nutrition

VITAL 1.0 CAL is peptide-based therapeutic nutrition that provides complete, balanced nutrition for long- or short-term for patients who require tube feeding and are experiencing malabsorption, maldigestion, or impaired GI function and/or GI intolerance. For tube or oral feeding. For supplemental or sole-source nutrition. Use under medical supervision.

Designed to promote tolerance:

• Medium chain triglyceride/canola oil structured lipid, a next-generation fat to promote absorption of fatty acids.
• Advanced blend of hydrolyzed protein, structured lipid, and prebiotics (short-chain fructooligosaccharides) to support absorption and tolerance.
• 1 g of short-chain fructooligosaccharides/8 fl oz (4.2 g/L). Short-chain fructooligosaccharides are prebiotic fibers that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon.

Features

• Gluten-free.
• Volume: 33.8 fl oz (1 L)
• Suitable for lactose intolerance.
• 1500 Calories (1500 mL) provides at least 100% of the RDIs for 25 essential vitamins and minerals.
• Contains elevated levels of antioxidants vitamins C and E and selenium to help reduce free radical damage.
• Contains MCT/canola oil structured lipid. Structured lipids are well-tolerated and absorbed by next-generation fats to promote the absorption of fatty acids.

Precautions

• Not for IV use.
• Not suitable for people with galactosemia.
