Medical Nutrition Range

Our Glutamed range of products form part of medical nutrition therapy – a term that encompasses oral nutritional supplements (ONS), enteral nutrition (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN).

The range encompasses ONS for the dietary management of glutamine deficiency and for reducing the side effects of chemo/radiation treatment in cancer patients.

Glutamine is the most abundant and versatile amino acid in the body. A deficiency of glutamine is common in catabolic patients. Studies show that glutamine supplements can improve clinical outcomes, potentially reduce post-op complications and improve quality of life.

Our range of products is currently used in all private and state hospitals in South Africa as part of their medical nutrition protocols.
