Description

  1. Highly digestible raw materials
    ※Partially contains digestible milk protein.
    ※30% of total lipids are made from medium chain fatty acids (MCTs), which are highly digestible and absorbable.
     MCTs enter the liver via the portal vein and are quickly utilised as energy.
    ※Starch degradation products are used as carbohydrate ingredients.
  2. Intended for use in the non-metabolic phase of chronic liver disease, so designed to be low in protein.
  3. Focusing on the function of BCAAs during liver disease, the Fischer ratio (BCAA/AAA) has been increased to increase its intake.
    BCAA: branched-chain amino acids, AAA: aromatic amino acids.
  4. Contains arginine and taurine.
  5. Lipids are adjusted to avoid excess.It also contains L-carnitine, which promotes lipid metabolism, which is often deficient in liver cirrhosis and other conditions.
  6. For a bifidobacteral growth factor, added milk oligosaccharides (lactulose) and dietary fibre (non-digestible dextrin), the balance of the intestinal microflora ensure the intestinal environment.
  7. In consideration of copper storage hepatopathy, reduced cooper content. And the content of zinc, which is involved in regarding the absorption of copper in the intestinal tract, has been increased.
  8. Consideration is given to the sodium content to address portal hypertension. It also contains sufficient potassium to take into account the ionic balance of body fluids in chronic liver disease.
  9. Vitamins are provided in sufficient quantities, with particular attention given to vitamins E and K.

※The colored fine particles seen when the pack is opened or when the formula is dissolved are mineral powder, and do not compromise product quality.
