Description
Nutricia Nutrison (fibre‑free) is a nutritionally complete, ready‑to‑use enteral tube feeding formula providing 1.0 kcal/mL. It is suitable as a sole source of nutrition when clinically indicated and used under medical supervision. The fibre‑free composition supports residue‑restricted diets, while a whey‑dominant P4 protein blend (whey, casein, soy, pea) is designed for a balanced amino acid profile and gastrointestinal tolerance. The fat blend includes medium‑chain triglycerides (MCT) to aid fat digestion and absorption, alongside fish oil supplying DHA and EPA. Enrichment with carotenoids (beta‑carotene, lutein, lycopene) complements the micronutrient profile.
Key features
- Fibre‑free (<0.1 g/100 mL); appropriate for residue‑restricted diets

- Fat blend with MCT plus fish oil providing DHA (13.6 mg/100 mL) and EPA (20 mg/100 mL); omega‑6:omega‑3 ≈2.9:1
- Low lactose (<0.025 g/100 mL)
- Ready‑to‑use in 500 mL and 1000 mL ready‑to‑hang (OpTri) bottles; suitable for pump delivery or syringe/bolus as directed
