enteral nutrition

Enteral nutrition refers to the delivery of nutrients directly into the gastrointestinal tract, typically through a feeding tube. This method is essential for individuals who are unable to consume food orally due to various medical conditions, allowing them to receive the necessary calories, proteins, vitamins, and minerals for their health and recovery. Enteral nutrition can be tailored to meet the specific dietary needs of patients, ensuring they maintain energy intake and support their overall wellbeing. One excellent product for enteral nutrition is Nutricia Maltodextrin 6 Plv, available in a convenient pack of four 750 g units. This food for special medical purposes is designed for diet management in patients who have insufficient energy intake or higher energy requirements. Maltodextrin 6 is a versatile, water-soluble carbohydrate powder that is flavorless and can easily enrich both hot and cold foods and beverages. It can be used to enhance the energy content of food or drinks, with a recommended use of up to 50 g per 100 g of food or 100 ml of drink, tailored to meet individual energy needs. However, Nutricia Maltodextrin 6 should only be used under medical supervision and is not intended for exclusive nutrition or for children under the age of 3.
