NOVASOURCE® Renal — Nutritionally Complete Formula Tailored for Kidney Support
When your kidneys’ function is impaired—whether from chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), or dialysis—nutrition must be precise. NOVASOURCE® Renal is a specialized, calorie-dense and protein-optimized formula designed to help meet those unique needs.
Key Benefits & Features
- High calorie density: 2.0 kcal per mL—ideal for those with fluid restrictions or limited intake.
- Protein-rich: Provides ~21.6 g of protein per 237 mL serving (≈ 18-19% of total calories), supporting lean muscle maintenance.
- Electrolyte-modulated: Formulated with lower levels of potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and magnesium—helping manage common imbalances in kidney disease.
- Gluten-free & lactose-free: Suitable for many with digestion concerns (but not appropriate for those with galactosemia).
- Flexible use: Can be given orally or via tube feeding, under medical supervision.
- Multiple flavors: Available in Vanilla, Strawberry, and Café Mocha options to help with variety.
How & When to Use It
- As a supplement or mini-meal: Drink between or alongside regular meals when intake is insufficient.
- Under medical guidance: The number of servings per day is determined based on your fluid allowance, calorie goals, and kidney status.
- Tube-feeding compatible: Use in feeding regimens per clinical protocols.
- Best served chilled: Though it does not require refrigeration before opening, many find the taste more palatable when cold.
