As we age, protein plays a key role in the body’s functions, including how muscles and bones rebuild themselves and wound repair. Diet by itself often isn’t enough. Helping increase your protein intake, Medline’s Active Liquid Protein Nutritional Supplement delivers a complete and concentrated source.
The Benefits of Medline Active Liquid Protein
Designed to enhance your diet, this liquid protein supplement plays a crucial role in supplying your body with the doctor-recommended dosage of grams necessary to aid muscle strength, support your bones, help your skin properly heal and maintain your weight. Especially for older adults, getting insufficient protein or an incomplete source may contribute to weight loss, liver problems and low blood pressure, among other issues.
People usually get their protein from a naturally consumable source such as fish, meats and grains. These natural sources, although the most common way to access protein, do not offer enough grams or provide a complete source of all 20 amino acids.
Unfortunately, due to age-related changes, some older adults may find that they can no longer consume these sources or are confined to a liquid diet. In supplying your body with enough protein, Medline Active Liquid Protein:
- Provides a dual protein source, pairing hydrolyzed collagen and whey protein to deliver 15 to 21g per serving — or about one-third of the FDA’s daily recommendation.
- Helps reduce your risk for a protein deficiency, which can elevate infection concerns and stall wound healing.
- Is further designed for use as the body recovers from an injury: In fact, those with a high-exudate wound may need up to 100g of protein per day to fully recover.
- Adds 3.7g of arginine, as well as vitamin C and zinc, per 30mL serving to support the immune system and assist with wound healing.
- Requires no mixing and can be administered orally or through a feeding tube.
- Comes in multiple flavors and with or without sugar.
- Is part of Medline’s Skintegrity™ program for addressing malnutrition, sarcopenia, infections and skin ulcers in relation to how the body builds new tissue.
Nutritional Content and Use
In a single 1-ounce serving, you can get up to 15 grams of protein, or 16 grams if you choose the sugar-free option. Each bottle contains 30 fluidounces and holds up to 30 servings. Each 100-calorie serving contains nine or fewer grams of sugar.
As Medline Active Liquid Protein is not your traditional powder-based product, all you have to do simply remove the cap, pour into the measurement cup and take. It is formulated to be easily absorbed without interrupting your digestive system and can be supplied through an IV for patients who are using a feeding line.
