General nutrition support

Overview

General nutrition support (or nutrition support therapy) refers to the medical provision of nutrients to patients who are unable to eat or absorb enough food to maintain or restore nutritional status and health[1][2][4][5]. It includes strategies such as **enteral nutrition** (delivery through the gastrointestinal tract, by mouth or feeding tube) and **parenteral nutrition** (delivery intravenously when the GI tract is not functional)[1][2][5][6]. This therapy is used in various clinical settings, particularly for those with malnutrition, GI dysfunction, or those unable to eat due to illness, injury, or surgery[1][2][4][5][6][7]. "General nutrition support" is not a receptor, enzyme, transporter, or specific molecule; it is a form of supportive medical care[2][7][8].
