ROSS00746 Nutrition Powder Polycose 12.3Oz 6Can/cs Ross Prds
- Polycose is an easily digestible source of carbohydrate calories for use when additional calories are required. It mixes easily with regular foods and beverages to provide extra calories for persons with increased caloric needs or for those whose normal diet does not meet their needs. Polycose Glucose Polymers may be used indefinitely as an enteral carbohydrate supplement. Although Polycose may serve temporarily as the sole energy source, it is not intended to be used as a sole-source nutritional product because it contains no protein, fat, or vitamins and very low levels of minerals. Suggested usage for additional carbohydrate calories in protein-, electrolyte-, or fat-restricted diets; medical or surgical status prevents adequate intake of calories from a normal diet, gastrointestinal volume must be limited, renal solute load must be limited, a diet with high caloric density is desirable, or pancreatic insufficiency is present. Features include: rapid absorption (peak glucose response in 30 minutes), longer glucose polymers reduce osmolality and minimize potential for osmotic diarrhea, low renal solute load, mixes readily with most foods and beverages, minimal sweetness to enhance patient acceptance, lactose- and gluten-free.
