NUTRIHEP Enteral Nutrition for Hepatic Patients provides an amino acid profile rich in branched-chain amino acids and low in aromatic and ammonogenic amino acids. NUTRIHEP is calorically dense, providing a high calorie-to-nitrogen ratio, to help spare protein for lean body mass. NUTRIHEP has a low total fat content with a high proportion of fat as MCT to facilitate fat absorption.

NUTRIHEP can be used as a tube feeding or as an oral supplement. Use NESTLE FLAVOR PACKETS EXTRA STRENGTH to add taste variety for oral use.
