Description
A high-protein food for special medical purposes, made from undenatured whey proteins with high biological value (DIF16WPI), indicated for the dietary management of subjects with skeletal muscle mass loss (sarcopenia) due to protein malnutrition, aging, and/or chronic diseases. Sarcopenia necessitates the intake of high amounts of protein; however, the conditions in which it occurs are accompanied by loss of appetite, difficulty eating, and/or malnutrition. Whey protein isolate is particularly appropriate in this context due to its high concentration (≥ 92.5%), high biological value of the provided proteins, and their digestibility, which optimize absorption, thus promoting an increased protein intake in the diet. Undenatured proteins represent a concentrated source of bioavailable cysteine, a precursor and conditioning nutrient for glutathione synthesis, whose cellular concentration decreases in conditions of protein deficiency. Since glutathione is involved in protein synthesis, a greater intake of its precursor is particularly appropriate in the dietary management of sarcopenia. PROther 5 is indicated for oral and enteral nutrition via NG tube and/or PEG for patients with chewing and swallowing difficulties.
