Intestamin package, 500 ml

Intestamine is a glutamine replacer that replenishes vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Provides glutamine in the form of dipeptides, antioxidants and butyrate in the form of tributyrin.

The important advantage of the product is: the possibility of early initiation of therapy (6 h from the moment of development of a critical condition).

In addition, the components in the mixture provide the following properties:

• can be combined with any enteral and parenteral nutrition;
• direct therapeutic action on the intestinal epithelium;
• providing glutamine, tributyrin and antioxidants directly into the gut.
