inpatient protein supplements

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I know this has been discuss many times but I just read through some

past topics and could not find a recent thread. So... What pro

supplements are being used in-house?

We currently use low sugar CIB and Optisource. It seems pts have a

tough time meeting pro goals (60-80g daily) with CIB...I find they

think it has more pro than it does... and we get complaints about the

taste of Optisource.

We were thinking of using Unjury or Bariatric Advantage (ready to

mix) or Smart Forme RTD supplements instead.

Any thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated!

Best,

We use Prostat-one 30-mL packet per tray (15g protein). I know, collagen...was not my choice, and we do not have the highest compliance level with it due to intense taste, but it is conveniently packaged.
