The present invention provides a method for providing nutrition to non-catabolic and moderately catabolic patients. Pursuant to the present invention, the enteral composition includes a peptide based protein source of hydrolyzed whey, a lipid source, and a carbohydrate source. Preferably, the protein source includes approximately 22% to about 27% of the total calories. The composition has a caloric density of approximately 1000 Kcal/L and a low osmolality of approximately 300 to 450 mOsm/Kg H.sub.2 O. Still further, the composition of the present invention also includes increased levels of certain vitamins and minerals.
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition as well as method for providing nutrition to renal patients. Pursuant to the present invention, the enteral composition includes an effective amount of a protein source including whey protein and free amino acids that provide essential as well as nonessential amino acids. The composition is calorically dense and has a moderate osmolality.
