Prodiet's line of enteral diets for malnutriton can be recommended for those who are going through situations of malnutriton due to various conditions, such as chronic diseases, eating disorders, surgeries, traumas or conditions that compromise adequate food intake².
Enteral diets provide essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. This is especially important in situations such as malnutriton, where patients may have difficulty consuming enough solid food to meet their nutritional needs¹.
Enteral diets are formulated to be a complete and balanced source of nutrients, providing all the macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates and fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) needed to sustain the body's health and function².
Nutritional supplements, on the other hand, can only provide one or a few specific nutrients, and are not formulated to completely replace a meal or diet².
Enteral diets are indicated for situations in which oral food intake is compromised or insufficient to meet the patient's nutritional needs, while nutritional supplements can be used to supplement the diet in specific cases²,³.
