Nutrison High Protein Range
Picture a better recovery for your tube feeding patients in the community.
PROTEIN IS REQUIRED FOR MAINTENANCE OF BODY CELL MASS AND BODILY FUNCTIONS2
Protein is a VITAL macronutrient for:
- WOUND HEALING
- Supporting IMMUNE FUNCTION
- Maintaining LEAN BODY MASS
for patients in the Intensive Care Unit, wards or at home2,3
PROTEIN REQUIREMENTS
- A varied protein target of 1-2.5 g/kg/day based on disease state and nutritional status2
- If no protein guideline is available, the Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition Group (PENG) Requirements Guideline Group 2018 recommends using 1.0-1.5 g protein/kg actual body weight/day4
