Elemental Select - 30 Servings | Moss Nutrition

New Formula: No Maltodextrin

Elemental Select™ is distinguished from other professional elemental formulas by its superior taste and quality. Its inherent sweetness and delicious natural vanilla flavor promote high patient compliance. Some patients will use it for a period of several days to weeks as the sole source of nutrition (i.e. a 'full elemental diet'), with a duration of two weeks being fairly standard. Others may take Elemental Select™ once or twice per day ('partial elemental diet') for a predetermined period of time as recommended by the prescribing healthcare practitioner. The product mixes easily with water or other liquid tolerated by the patient, and should be sipped slowly, rather than gulped. Further details regarding usage and dosing are outlined on the Elemental Select™ Product Technical Sheet.

Elemental Select™ is the first professional elemental formula to contain Reginator®, a vegan, hypoallergenic, proprietary blend of free-form essential amino acids plus the gut-friendly, inflammation balancing, non-essential amino acid L-arginine. Reginator® has been researched to help increase and preserve muscle mass, even in non-exercising individuals, at the dose contained in two scoops of Elemental Select™. Preservation of muscle mass is critical for all aging individuals, and especially for patients with chronic intestinal inflammation and digestive issues that impair proper nutrient absorption. As the gut heals, nourishment may be enhanced, strength restored, and quality of life improved.

Elemental Select™ features the following:

All essential vitamins and minerals in easily absorbed, recognizable forms.

Activated B vitamins, including L-5-MTHF methylated folate, to help optimize energy production, liver detoxification, and nervous system function.

Predigested carbohydrate supplied as pure, non-fermenting glucose (dextrose) for energy.

Predigested fat supplied as medium chain triglycerides (MCT) from coconut oil for sustained energy, cognitive health, and preservation of muscle mass.

Predigested protein supplied as Reginator® and additional free-form amino acids,

for the maintenance and repair of lean body mass, tissues and organs, and to help support healthy enzyme, cellular, and immune function.

L-Glutamine to help nourish, repair, and rebuild the intestinal lining.

No added sweeteners.

Delicious natural vanilla flavor.
