Nutrinovo offers some unique products. I love the new plant-based protein product, forward thinking & all-encompassing of our patients opting for a plant-based diet!

We had a patient with a milk allergy on ICU, the soya-based feed only met a small percentage of his protein requirements. Your new plant-based product (ProSource TF Plant) would have been ideal for him and I would have definitely used it. It will also be useful for our patients who follow a vegan diet.

ProSource TF Plant will be very useful, as many my patients are vegetarian or vegan. I found that it is even palatable if mixed with food. I had few patients who agreed to continue taking it orally after their NG feed was stopped, in order to meet their protein requirements after surgery. Many thanks for your wonderful products.
