Fresubin

Fresubin is a range of nutritionally complete, high-energy oral nutritional supplements and tube feeds designed for the dietary management of patients with or at risk of disease-related malnutrition. These products are formulated to provide balanced nutrition, including protein (from milk or soya), fats (such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, fish oil), carbohydrates (like maltodextrin), fiber (inulin, wheat dextrin, cellulose in some formulations), vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Some variants are tailored for specific patient needs—for example: - **Fresubin Renal** is adapted for patients with chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury and features reduced protein and electrolytes[7]. - **Fresubin 1000 Complete** is suitable as a sole source of nutrition and contains 22% energy from protein with added fish oil[4]. - **Fresubin Intensive** provides high protein content for those at risk of malnutrition due to illness[6]. - **Fresubin Jucy Drink** offers a fat-free option suitable for patients with fat malabsorption[8]. All Fresubin products are intended for enteral use only under medical supervision. They are not suitable for infants under three years old or individuals with galactosaemia. The main indications include support during periods of increased nutritional need such as cancer therapy-related diarrhea, perioperative care in gastrointestinal tumors, severe sepsis recovery support, short bowel syndrome management, pre-operative preparation in malnourished patients, dysphagia management after surgery or gastrectomy[5][9][10].
