Oral nutritional supplements

Oral nutritional supplements

Enteral nutrition and dietetics

Cargill produces carbohydrate sources, choline sources, polyunsaturated fatty acid sources, emulsifiers, as well as compounds that help control cholesterol and protect the liver against fatty degeneration.*

Our products are manufactured to meet our customers’ expectations and needs.

* All potential health claims are currently subject to final approval by the EFSA.

Dextrose and maltodextrin as a carbohydrate source

Enteral nutrition formulations contain some or all of the nutrients that the body needs to function. Substances that provide energy are one of the key ingredients in these formulations. Carbohydrates are the human body's primary source of energy. Cargill’s dextroses and maltodextrins, obtained by the complete or partial breakdown of maize starch respectively, can be used for this purpose.

Maltodextrin C* PharmDry™

 

Choline and polyunsaturated fatty acid source

Choline source and liver protecting agent

The phospholipid phosphatidylcholine that we enrich by several process steps has proven its beneficial effects in many studies. The main health claim for soy phosphatidylcholine is that it supports liver metabolism and may help detoxification.* In the USA, lecithins and phospholipids from soy are GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) and accepted as a natural choline source.

There is a wide range of products allowing customers to create their own dosage forms like tonics and tablets. A very simple application of phospholipids is to use granulated lecithin on cereals or yoghurt. Liquid phospholipids can also be easily administered in soft gel capsules.

* All potential health claims are currently subject to final approval by the EFSA.
