How it works
Fresubin hepa powder works by incorporating 44% branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in its protein content, providing adequate protein to hepatic patients without the risk of hepatic encephalopathy. The formulation also includes 36% Medium-Chain Triglycerides (MCT) for better fat absorption, which is essential in liver disease cases. Fresubin Hepa powder's low sodium content helps manage ascites and edema, while its calcium and vitamin D prevent cirrhosis-related osteoporosis. The addition of prebiotic fiber supports regular bowel movements. Overall, it enhances body functions, immunity, and facilitates faster recovery in those with liver conditions.
How to Use
Consume Fresubin hepa powder as directed by your dietitian. Dissolve 50g (4 scoops) of the powder in 200 ml water. Do not consume more than the recommended dosage.
