Frequently asked questions
Is this formula suitable for individuals with sensitive digestion?
Yes. This formula is specifically designed for adults with severely compromised gastrointestinal function. It uses 100% free amino acids, which require minimal digestion, allowing for maximum absorption even when natural digestive processes are weakened.
Is this product gluten-free and lactose-free?
Yes, this formula is both gluten-free and lactose-free, making it a safe and versatile choice for patients with common dietary sensitivities or restrictions.
Is this ready-to-feed or does it require mixing?
It is a ready-to-feed (RTF) liquid formula. It comes pre-mixed in convenient 8.45 oz. (250 mL) cartons, which helps save time and ensures consistent preparation for tube feeding.
Can this be used for home-care tube feeding?
Absolutely. Because it is a shelf-stable, ready-to-feed liquid provided in individual 8.45 oz. cartons, it is perfectly suited for both clinical and home-care settings.
Why is '100% free amino acid' important?
Using 100% free amino acids means the protein in the formula is already broken down into its simplest form. This requires minimal digestive effort from the body, ensuring patients get the protein and calories they need even when their GI tract is highly sensitive.
What is the concentration of this formula?
The Vivonex RTF formula has a concentration of 1 kcal/mL, providing a predictable and complete nutritional intake per milliliter.
Does it contain essential vitamins and minerals?
Yes, the formula is enriched with a comprehensive blend of essential micronutrients to ensure a balanced nutritional intake, providing complete support in a ready-to-feed format.
Is this product considered Kosher?
Yes, this formula meets Kosher dietary standards.
What are the main fats used in this formula?
The formula includes soybean oil and medium chain triglycerides (MCT). MCTs are often included in clinical nutrition to aid in easier absorption for those with digestive difficulties.
How many cartons are included in a case?
Each case contains 24 cartons, with each carton holding 8.45 oz. (250 mL) of the nutritional formula.
