Abstract
A composition is provided that provides a nutritionally complete, calorically-dense formulation suitable for use as a supplement or total enteral feeding. The composition is specifically tailored to meet the requirements of hepatic patients in need of nutritional support. In contrast to current hepatic formulas, the composition is ready-to-use and does not require reconstitution and admixing. The ready-to-use formula contains a protein source that contains at least 25% of its total protein content as free crystalline amino acids.
