Healthcare professionals know that adequate protein intake plays an important role in health and wellness. If you or a loved one is struggling with a protein deficiency, Medline Active Liquid Protein and Medline Active Critical Care Liquid Protein can help. Originally formulated for hospital and nursing home use, these high-quality medical foods offer concentrated nutrition from two protein sources: hydrolyzed collagen and whey protein. They’re lactose-free and gluten-free so people with a wide variety of dietary needs can take them. And, they’re available in both sugared and sugar-free flavors.
A small amount packs a powerful punch – here’s what we mean by concentrated:
- 1-oz. serving of Active Liquid Protein provides up to 16-grams of protein
- 1-oz. serving of Active Critical Care Liquid Protein contains 21-grams of protein plus arginine, zinc and vitamin C for targeted chronic wound care support
Why is adequate protein intake so important?
