Vitaflo Renastart Formula Overview
Renastart Formula is a whey-based formula with tailored nutrient content for children with pediatric kidney disease. Renastart has low levels of renal-specific nutrients like protein, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, potassium, and vitamin A, so it's suitable for incorporating into a kidney diet as a supplement or for mixing with other formulas. This unflavored formula is well-tolerated by children and is intended for oral and tube feeding. Renastart Powder can be concentrated or diluted to meet specific nutritional requirements for children with concerns such as poor gastrointestinal tolerance or fluid restrictions.

Tailored Nutritional Content
Renastart meets the specific requirements of children with varying stages of pediatric kidney disease.
Low in Protein
The low protein content in Renastart Formula allows it to be used as part of an oral diet or mixed with other enteral formulas for a customized nutritional profile. This gives children with pediatric kidney disease more flexibility to eat or drink other items without surpassing protein requirements.
Optimized Sodium Levels
Pediatric kidney disease is associated with sodium wasting and low serum sodium levels, which can lead to complications. This formula contains higher levels of sodium than standard infant formula or breast milk. However, when compared to standard pediatric enteral feeds, this formula's standard dilution has a lower sodium level, which can be beneficial for children with certain conditions such as hypertension. The formula can be further diluted or concentrated to meet the child's sodium level requirements.
Low Levels of Renal-Specific Nutrients of Concern
This formula is meant to be used in conjunction with other foods because it is a supplementary feed. To provide the right balance for children with CKD, the formula has lower levels of nutrients that are of specific concern in a renal diet. The ingredients with low levels are:
- Potassium
- Phosphorous
- Calcium
- Chloride
- Vitamin A
The low levels of these four ingredients enable the formula to be mixed with other food sources without exceeding the recommended intake.
