USAGE

PIVOT 1.5 CAL is peptide-based, complete, balanced therapeutic nutrition for short- or long-term tube feeding for metabolically stressed surgical, trauma, burn, or head and neck cancer patients who could benefit from an immune-modulating enteral formula.

• For tube feeding.

• For sole-source nutrition.

• Use under medical supervision.

FEATURES

• Provides very high protein (93.8 g/L, 25% of Calories) to support protein synthesis, tissue repair and wound healing.1,2

• Provides 1.5 Cal/mL—concentrated Calories for fluid-restricted patients.

• Immune support:

• Arginine (13 g/L, 3.5% of Calories) to support proliferation and function of immune cells.2

• Glutamine (inherent) (7.6 g/L) for GI-tract integrity and energy for immune cells.3,4

• Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, 2.6 g/L; DHA, 1.1 g/L) to help modulate inflammation and support immune function.5,6

• Tolerance:

• Advanced blend of hydrolyzed protein, structured lipid, and prebiotic (NutraFlora® scFOS®*) to promote absorption and tolerance.

• Hydrolyzed, peptide-based protein system.

• MCT/fish oil structured lipid, a well-tolerated7,8 and absorbed8 next-generation fat to promote absorption of fatty acids.

• 1.8 g of scFOS/8 fl oz (7.5 g/L). scFOS are prebiotic soluble fibers that stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon.

• Halal, gluten-free, suitable for lactose intolerance.

PRECAUTIONS
