About Nestle HealthScience Renalcal for Renal Failure Tube Feeding Formula

This Nestle Renalcal tube feeding formula is a supplement dietary intake for those with acute kidney injury or renal insufficiency. Calorically dense, it's also protein-restricted and has minimal electrolytes to safely provide specific nutritional requirements. Nestle clinical nutrition contains histidine, an amino acid considered to be essential in responding to renal failure. A 70:30 MCT:LCT ratio decreases the potential for fat malabsorption. While not a sole source of nutrition, this gluten-free tube-feeding formula is suitable for short-term tube-feeding applications and works as an oral supplement. Safe for those with lactose intolerance, it's also suitable for kosher and low-residue diets. The unflavored formula contains 100 percent of the daily required intake for multiple vitamins and minerals for comprehensive nutrition. Also included are 67 percent of indispensable amino acids and 33 percent of dispensable amino acids. Each carton has a peel-back opening for ease of access and for convenient pouring. The contents are pre-mixed and ready to use.
