Comprehensive nutritional support for optimal recovery
A specially designed amino acid solution to aid nutritional management in patients with compromised health conditions.
Introduction
Amino acid therapy is a medical approach that uses supplementation of specific amino acids to support body function, promote metabolic balance, and improve health. As the building blocks of protein, amino acids are widely involved in cell repair, immune support and neuromodulation, and are used to manage stress, increase energy levels and assist in the care of chronic diseases.
What is Amino Acid Therapy?
Overview:
- A specially formulated IV infusion therapy containing a balance of essential and non-essential amino acids.
- Designed for people with liver disease, malnutrition, increased metabolic demands, or other health issues.
Purpose:
- Support protein synthesis.
- Aids recovery in patients with malnutrition or liver impairment.
Benefits of Amino Acid Therapy
- Nutritional support: Provides necessary nutrition to patients with restricted dietary intake.
- Liver Health Support: Reduces the metabolic burden on the liver and provides easily accessible amino acids.
- Promotes Recovery: Helps with wound healing, immune function and overall recovery in patients undergoing surgery or with chronic illnesses.
- Improve quality of life: Relieve fatigue and promote better energy levels.
Treatment
• Provides essential and non-essential amino acids in an optimized ratio.
• Administered intravenously under medical supervision.
• Reduces the workload on the liver and promotes better metabolic balance.
Usage and Dosage
• Personalized treatment plan: Dosage is adjusted based on individual needs, health status, and nutritional status.
Always consult a qualified medical provider to determine suitability!
Who Can Benefit from Amino Acid Therapy?
- Recommended for:
Patients with Cancer:
– Addresses malnutrition due to cancer or cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.
– Helps combat cancer-induced weight loss (cachexia) and improves recovery.
Individuals with Liver Diseases:
– Reduces the liver’s metabolic workload, especially in hepatic insufficiency or hepatic encephalopathy.
Malnourished Patients:
– Supports those with severe malnutrition due to chronic illness or other factors.
Pre- and Post-Surgical Patients:
– Enhances recovery and healing in individuals undergoing major surgeries.
Patients with High Metabolic Demands:
– Ideal for those dealing with critical illnesses or increased nutritional needs.
Safety and precautions
- Safe Use:
— Suitable for use under medical supervision. - Precautions:
— Not recommended for people with severe renal insufficiency or allergies to the amino acid formula.
— Regular monitoring is required during treatment.
