Description
Tolerex® — 100% Free-Amino Acid Nutrition for Severely Compromised GI Function
When digestion and absorption are too difficult for standard formulas, Tolerex® offers a solution built for patients with severely impaired gastrointestinal function. It’s designed to deliver essential nutrients with minimal digestive demand.
Key Benefits & Features
- 100% free amino acids — no intact protein molecules, to reduce allergenic load and facilitate absorption in damaged intestines.
- Extremely low fat content (≈2% of calories) — minimizes stimulation of the pancreas and supports gastric emptying.
- High carbohydrate proportion — provides energy primarily through digestible carbohydrates, making up ~90% of caloric distribution.
- Complete with essential vitamins & minerals — delivers 100% of daily reference intake for 24 micronutrients in one packet (300 kcal).
- Versatile usage — suitable for both tube feeding and oral supplementation, depending on patient tolerance.
- Special dietary compatibilities — lactose-free, gluten-free, kosher. Not for use in infants under age 3.
Clinical Use & Indications
- Indicated for individuals with severe GI impairment, such as in conditions of protein malabsorption, fat malabsorption, short bowel syndrome, or extreme digestive compromise.
- Use under medical supervision only — this is a medical nutrition formula, not a food product.
- Do not use parenterally (IV) — for enteral (oral or tube) use only.
