A dietary food for special medical purposes that provides a mixture of amino acids, metabolic mediators of protein synthesis, intended for the dietary treatment of protein malnutrition in acute and chronic conditions accompanied by loss of muscle mass, and in senile or neoplastic sarcopenia.
Composed of qualitatively and quantitatively well-defined essential amino acids which, by improving the nutritional status, allow for the preservation of physical autonomy, reducing the risk of frailty, especially in the elderly. Thanks to its pleasant palatability, it is indicated for the diet of both subjects requiring enteral nutrition and subjects with normal swallowing function, also facilitating the transition from enteral to oral nutrition.
Proper nutrition is the only way to limit and correct metabolic alterations related to any medical and surgical illness. A crucial point of adequate nutrition is tolerance to physical exercise, essential for maintaining or improving motor autonomy, self-sufficiency, and quality of life: nutrition with a rehabilitative function.
The nutritional approach with AMINOTROFIC NE is based on consolidated clinical results, which demonstrate a significant increase in tolerance to physical exercise. AMINOTROFIC NE:
1) improves muscle metabolism, making energy production more efficient;
2) increases the synthesis of muscle and plasma proteins;
3) counteracts muscle mass loss.
Thanks to these actions, resulting from the increased number and functionality of mitochondria, AMINOTROFIC NE promotes the restoration of muscle mass lost due to chronic diseases or advanced age and the recovery of motor activity. Clinical studies show that AMINOTROFIC NE can replace physical rehabilitation if it is not feasible, or can enhance its results.
Supplementation with AMINOTROFIC NE is recommended in the following situations:
1) reduced physical capacity or easy fatigue;
2) unplanned weight loss;
3) insufficient daily intake of foods containing high biological value proteins (e.g., meat, cheese, milk, eggs);
4) bedridden, immobility, or low daily physical activity, mainly confined to the home;
5) loss of muscle mass due to chronic diseases (chronic heart failure, COPD, etc.);
6) during and after an infectious episode or recurrent infection;
7) need for accelerated wound healing, including surgical ones.
