Everything is connected

A unique amino acid profile that guarantees your patients a highly effective protein, coupled with an easy-to-use delivery system which saves on both nursing time and ancillary costs, makes ProSource TF ENFit an unrivalled enteral protein.

Protein Quality

20g protein

• Provides maximal stimulus for MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) 1,2
• One bolus ensures protein intake is within the “window of opportunity” to induce MPS 3,4
• Optimises protein provision when opportunities to feed may be limited 5

PDCAAS of 100%

• Essential amino acids (EAA) present at the right levels – providing 100% of the IOM reference pattern for an ideal protein 6
• Correct EAA levels are important in addition to leucine to support MPS 7,8,9
• High BCAA concentration

1.1g of leucine

• Similar levels are shown to stimulate robust MPS 10

Ease-of-use

Direct ENFit connection

• Simple: connects directly on to an ENFit connector or giving set
• Safe: direct ENFit connection removes the need to decant – reducing cross contamination risk 11

Value

Saves time and costs

• Mitigates the need for additional ancillaries such as single use syringes or reciprocals for decanting
• Speed and ease of administration can save valuable nursing time
• One 20g pouch vs two 11g doses may offer savings in dispensing costs and reduce waste
