Nestle Vivonex Plus Elemental High-Nitrogen Diet is a complete 100 percent free amino acid formula for severely compromised GI tracts. Six percent fat for improved gastric emptying, tolerance and reduced pancreatic stimulation. Additional free glutamine, enhanced arginine and branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) contents make it especially useful in stressed, catabolic patients. May be used post-operatively as an enteral alternative to TPN and may also benefit patients with severe gastrointestinal impairment.
