Vivonex® Plus — Advanced Elemental Nutrition for Severely Compromised GI Function

When conventional nutrition formulas are too heavy for a damaged digestive system, Vivonex® Plus is engineered to bridge the gap. This elemental, 100% free-amino acid formula is ideal for patients with severe gastrointestinal impairment, offering complete nutrition in a highly tolerable form.

Key Benefits & Features

• 100% free amino acids — no intact proteins, helping reduce allergenic load and improve absorption in severely compromised GI tracts.
• Low fat content (≈ 6% of calories) — designed to minimize pancreatic stimulation and support fat-sensitive digestive function.
• High nitrogen support with added glutamine & arginine — enhanced levels of conditionally essential amino acids to support stress or catabolic states.
• Complete formula — 1.0 kcal/mL with a full spectrum of micronutrients to meet needs when volume tolerance is low.
• Versatile use — designed for enteral (tube) feeding and oral supplementation (where tolerated).
• Dietary-friendly — gluten-free, lactose-free, kosher.

How & When to Use It

• Intended for patients > 3 years old — not appropriate for infants under 3 years.
• Use under medical supervision only — as a medical nutrition product, it must be integrated into a care plan by clinicians.
• Enteral / oral feeding — employ standard tube feeding protocols (continuous, cyclic, bolus) or oral use if tolerated.
• Because its fat content is low, attention to essential fatty acid intake should be considered in longer-term use.
