Preferred Label : Cholecalciferol/Whey Protein Isolate/EPA/DHA-based Nutritional Supplement;
NCIt synonyms : Nutrifriend Cachexia;
NCIt definition : A gluten-free, energy-rich, non-complete nutritional supplement drink composed of
juice from the concentrates of apple pear, pomegranate, purple chokeberry and passion
fruit, plus fish oil derived from salmon and cod, the minerals potassium, phosphorus
and iodine, whey protein isolate derived from cow's milk, tocopherols (vitamin E),
and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) with potential anti-cachexic activity. Upon oral
intake of the cholecalciferol/whey protein isolate/EPA/DHA-based nutritional supplement,
the protein components maintain digestive health throughout the gastrointestinal (GI)
tract and reduce the risk of digestive complications. The essential omega-3 polyunsaturated
fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the fish
oil are incorporated into cell membranes and affect the production of pro-inflammatory
mediators, which elicits an anti-inflammatory effect. Cholecalciferol plays an important
role in maintaining bone mineralization and regulating blood calcium and phosphorus
levels. Tocopherols neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting tissues and organs
from oxidative damage. In particular, alpha-tocopherol gets incorporated into biological
membranes, maintains cell membrane integrity and protects the cell against damage.
This nutritional supplement may prevent both malnutrition and weight loss.;
