Description

Nutrini Energy (Nutricia) is a fibre‑free, high‑energy paediatric enteral tube‑feeding formula classified as a Food for Special Medical Purposes. It is nutritionally complete for children aged 1–6 years or weighing 8–20 kg when used as a sole source of nutrition. Intended for the dietary management of disease‑related malnutrition, faltering growth, and situations requiring higher energy density and/or fibre‑free feeding. For enteral use only under medical supervision.

Key features

• Energy density: 1.5 kcal/ml (150 kcal per 100 ml) to support energy needs and fluid restriction strategies.
• Whey‑protein enriched for tolerance and balanced amino acid profile.
• Paediatric‑appropriate macronutrient profile (relatively higher fat; lower protein/iron vs typical adult formulas).
• Enriched with long‑chain omega‑3s (DHA, EPA) and carotenoids.
• Fibre‑free; very low lactose (<0.025 g/100 ml).
• Physicochemical: osmolality ~390 mOsmol/kg H2O; osmolarity ~300 mOsmol/l; potential renal solute load ~375 mOsmol/l; pH ~6.7.

Nutrition (per 100 ml)

• Energy: 150 kcal (630 kJ); Water: ~78 ml.
• Protein: 4.0 g (~11% energy) [casein ~2.4 g; whey ~1.6 g].
• Carbohydrate: 18.5 g (~49% energy) [sugars 1.1 g; lactose <0.025 g].
• Fat: 6.7 g (~40% energy) [saturates 0.8 g; monounsaturates 3.9 g; polyunsaturates 2.0 g; DHA 53.1 mg; EPA 12.6 mg]; omega‑6:omega‑3 ~3.8:1.
