Description

Nutricia Nutrini Energy Multi Fibre is a ready-to-use, nutritionally complete, high-energy (1.5 kcal/mL) fibre-enriched enteral tube feed for children. It can be used as a sole source of nutrition for children aged 1–6 years or weighing 8–20 kg; use with caution in children ≥7 years.

Who it’s for

• Children 1–6 years (8–20 kg) with disease-related malnutrition or faltering growth.
• Children with bowel irregularities (constipation or diarrhoea) who may benefit from a fibre-enriched feed.

Key features

• Whey-protein enriched to support tolerance and protein balance (protein sources: sodium caseinate and whey protein concentrate).
• Paediatric macronutrient profile: higher fat proportion and lower protein and iron than typical adult formulas.
• Fibre enriched with MF6 blend (soy polysaccharide, cellulose, resistant starch, gum arabic, oligofructose, inulin); 0.8 g/100 mL (4 g per 500 mL); ~50:50 soluble:insoluble; helps maintain normal bowel function.
• Long-chain omega-3s (from fish oil): DHA ~53.1 mg/100 mL; EPA ~12.6 mg/100 mL; ω6:ω3 ≈ 3.8:1.
• Includes carotenoids (β-carotene, lutein, lycopene).
• Very low lactose (<0.025 g/100 mL).
• Osmolality ~405 mOsm/kg H2O.
