Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 In googling the PDCAAS calculator, I found: http://www.unjury.com/reg/nutrition.shtml It doesn't say anything about using it in TF, but it does have a score of 100. Is anyone familiar with Unjury? Schoneweis, MS RD LMNT > We have been using Prostat 101 as a modular add - on in TF patients.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Unjury was developed by an RD and has a PDCAAS of 100. It comes in different flavors. You can contact them for samples.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I agree, Unjury is a great product, used all the time in Bariatric Surgery Centers and tastes great too. Don't know if its OK for enteral use. What about Beneprotein? > > > We have been using Prostat 101 as a modular add - on in TF patients.
