Product Information

Acts to meet the increased protein needs during periods of metabolic stress or inadequate intake, allowing for maintenance or restoration of body protein stores. Assessment of protein status is performed as part of the baseline nutrition evaluation to determine risk for protein malnutrition and skin failure. A resident's protein status indicates the person's ability to synthesize non-essential amino acids and to absorb and utilize essential amino acids. As protein status declines the resident is at higher risk for pressure ulcer development, poor wound healing, and infection. Under normal conditions, intact or whole dietary proteins (long chains of amino acids known as polypeptides) are hydrolyzed by digestive enzymes. Enzymatic hydrolysis "digests" or breaks down whole proteins into smaller components of amino acids and peptides to facilitate absorption. Metabolic stress reduces digestive enzyme availability and activity. ProSource NoCarb Liquid Protein™ is a complete hydrolyzed protein providing all the dispensable and indispensable amino acids required for protein building (transamination) in a concentrated, sugar-free form that requires fewer digestive enzymes for absorption than intact protein. ProSource NoCarb Liquid Protein is sugar free and low in phosphorous, potassium, and sodium and complies with the majority of dietary restrictions.
