Product Description
Osmolite is a 1.0 kcal/ml complete, balanced, isotonic liquid for special medical purposes. This ready-to-hang formula is designed for use under medical supervision and is suitable as a sole source of nutrition or as a nutritional supplement for adults and patients who cannot or will not eat sufficient quantities of everyday food and drink to meet their nutritional requirements.
The formula features an isotonic osmolality of 288 mOsm/kg H₂O, which closely matches the osmolality of body fluids. This makes it particularly suitable for patients with compromised gastrointestinal function or those at risk of diarrhea. The protein blend consists of sodium caseinate (73.0%), soy protein isolate (16.0%), and calcium caseinate (11.0%), providing high-quality complete protein.
Osmolite is unflavoured and fibre-free, with a low viscosity that will pass down a fine nasogastric tube. The carbohydrate source consists of maltodextrin (99.0%) and carboxymethyl cellulose (0.96%), providing easily digestible energy.
The fat blend includes high oleic sunflower oil (47.8%), canola oil (28.7%), MCT from palm kernel oil (19.1%), and lecithin (4.43%), providing essential fatty acids including linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
Osmolite is nutritionally complete for vitamins and minerals in 1500ml for men aged 19-50 years (excluding electrolytes). The 500ml Ready to Hang (RTH) format provides convenient and hygienic administration for tube feeding.
Suitable for people with diabetes provided that routine glucose checks are performed.
