Perative 1.3 Cal Peptide-Based Therapeutic Nutrition for Metabolic Stress FAQs
How does it support wound healing and immune function?
It contains a high level of arginine, an amino acid crucial for collagen synthesis (important in wound repair) and immune cell function.
Why is it calorically dense?
Metabolically stressed patients often have increased energy needs. The high calorie content (1.3 Cal/mL) helps meet those needs.
What is scFOS, and what does it do?
scFOS is a prebiotic fiber that promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This supports gut health, which is linked to overall health and immune function.
Why is it high in protein?
Protein is essential for tissue repair and immune cell production. The high protein content helps meet the increased needs of metabolically stressed patients.
What does "hydrolyzed, peptide-based protein" mean?
The protein has been broken down into smaller peptides for easier digestion and absorption, which is particularly important for patients with compromised gut function.
Can this product be used for tube feeding?
Yes, it is well tolerated as a tube feeding due to its easily digestible protein and overall composition.
Is this product suitable for people with dietary restrictions?
Yes, it is Kosher, Halal, gluten-free, and suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
