FRESUBIN HEPA 200

About

Fresubin Hepa 200 is a specialized enteral nutritional supplement formulated to meet the unique dietary needs of patients with chronic or acute liver insufficiency, particularly those at risk of hepatic encephalopathy. This formula is characterized by a modified amino acid profile, featuring a high proportion of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine, and valine, and a reduced content of aromatic amino acids. This balance helps to improve the amino acid imbalance often seen in liver disease, which can contribute to neurological symptoms.

The supplement provides essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals, in an easily digestible form to support overall nutritional status without overburdening the compromised liver. It aims to prevent malnutrition, support liver regeneration, and help manage symptoms associated with advanced liver disease, thereby improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
