Supportan® is nutritional supplement specially designed for cancer patients. Compared to other cancer nutrition products, Supportan® has unique formulae with low carbohydrate, high energy, high protein* with fish oil and matches with ESPEN recommendations.

ESPEN guideline recommendations¹     

• Low carbohydrate and high energy: Supportan® DRINK is high fat/ low carbohydrate (40% energy/31% energy). Since cancer cells cannot use fat as source of energy, the formula provides energy to the patients, not the tumour^2,4
• High protein: Provides 40g protein daily^. Maintain immunity, help repair tissue, compensate for the loss of protein and counteract loss of muscle^2,5
• Contains EPA:  2g EPA and high protein supplement daily for at least seven week^{^@}. Reduce side effects of therapy⁵.
• Contains antioxidant vitamin: Contain sufficient antioxidant vitamin help wound healing and reduce chance of infections⁶
   

Medium chain triglyceride (MCT): Can be absorbed by the body easily and convert into energy^2,7

Prebiotic fibre: Water soluble fibre can soften faeces and promote intestinal health^2,5

Clinically free from lactose: Prevent diarrhea because of lactose intolerance

Research study

• 2 bottles of Supportan® DRINK daily can provide 2g of EPA. According to the study9, after 7 weeks with 2g of EPA and high protein supplement per day can increase the weight sigficantly5 , reduce treatment side effect3, maintain immunity10 and finish the treatment according to schedule

Recommend dosage:

• Nutritional supplement: 2 bottles/ day

Supportan® DRINK is ready to use. Enjoy Supportan® DRINK chilled for the best taste.

 A good nutritional status supports the success of medical treatment!
