We use ProSource TF on our critical care wards. It is such a helpful product to enable us to meet protein requirements, whilst providing fewer calories. This is particularly helpful when patients are receiving a lot of calories from Propofol.

Great product for my renal patients, from both a protein and fluid perspective.

The addition of ProSource TF (both standard and Plant) to your range of products has enabled me to support community home enteral feeding patients, meeting their nutrition and hydration requirements. Without these products, it would be extremely challenging to do so. Thank you.

A real fan of ProSource, especially ProSource TF for our tube fed patients. I often need to use a low energy, easy to administer protein supplement and this is a winner for me!

ProSource TF has become a “game changer” since we implemented it’s use on our intensive care unit. We are now more confidently meeting protein requirements in our patients who are at an increased vulnerability of not meeting this with standard feed compositions.
