Description
Arginaid® — Targeted L-Arginine & Antioxidant Support for Wound Nutrition
When your body is healing—after surgery, injury, or pressure wounds—it needs more than just bandages. Arginaid® is a specialized drink mix designed to support tissue repair and recovery by delivering clinically relevant levels of L-arginine along with antioxidant vitamins C and E. It mixes cleanly into liquids or soft foods for convenient use.
Key Benefits & Features
- High-dose L-arginine: Each serving provides 4.5 grams of supplemental L-arginine—an amino acid involved in collagen formation, immune response, and blood flow support in healing tissues.
- Added antioxidants: Includes vitamin C and vitamin E to help protect cells from oxidative stress during the healing process.
- Low calorie/low carb: Only about 30 calories and 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving—suitable for those with calorie or glycemic constraints.
- Flexible mixing: Blends easily with water, fruit juice, yogurt, applesauce, or other soft foods.
- Dietary friendly: Free of gluten and lactose.
- Variety of flavors: Available in Orange and Cherry variants for taste flexibility.
How & When to Use
- Recommended use: Intended to support wound healing and recovery under medical supervision—not a complete nutrition formula.
- Suggested administration:
- Oral: Mix one packet (or appropriate dose) into 180–240 mL (6–8 fl oz) of fluid or soft food and consume.
- Tube feeding: Mix into 120–180 mL of water, deliver via feeding tube, and flush with water following.
- Frequency: Up to two servings per day may be used, depending on clinical assessment.
Important Notes & Safety
- Use under medical supervision — not meant for self-prescription.
- Not for parenteral (IV) use — only for oral or tube feeding routes.
- Acidity caution: Because of moderate acidity (pH 3.0–4.0), caution is advised in patients with surgical jejunostomies.
- Contains phenylalanine due to aspartame in flavored versions — not suitable for phenylketonurics.
- Intended for adults unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.
