Caloric Supplementation (None)
- Target
- None
- Molecular classification
- Nutritional Supplement
01
Overview
Caloric supplementation refers to the intentional increase of caloric intake, typically through oral nutritional supplements or fortified foods, to meet or exceed an individual's daily energy requirements. It is used to correct negative energy balance in patients who are unable to consume adequate calories through regular diet alone due to illness, malnutrition, increased metabolic demands, or poor appetite.
