Nutivish Protein Powder

Nutivish is an excellent nutritional supplement. It provides high energy and all the essential nutrients that are particularly important for cancer patients to maintain or restore their nutritional status during recovery. Nutivish is recommended during and after radio- chemo- or surgical therapy; it has been tested clinically in these situations and has shown benefits.

Nutivish Protein powder is a sugar free, vegetarian source of added Omega 3 fatty acids ( DHA and EPA ) and L Glutamine .

L-Glutamine is a basic building block of cells and tissue. When the body is under the stress of chemotherapy, radiation or after major surgery, glutamine becomes a “conditionally essential” amino acid.

USES

To help reduce throat pain and prevent inability to eat while getting radiation for squamous cell cancer of the head and neck or esophageal cancer.
To prevent hand and foot syndrome from Xeloda chemotherapy.
To prevent neuropathies from Taxol for breast cancer patients.
To reduce gastritis, nausea and repair the lining of our GI tract in most cases of chemotherapy.
To prevent cancer related weight loss.

Healthy cells are less metabolically active, they can use the glutamine for repair rather than new cell growth and the side effects of chemo/radiation are lessened. Through a well researched and artfully managed approach, cancer patients can get the full power of prevention and restoration that glutamine offers without compromising their ability to fight caner.

DHA & EPA

Studies show they help maintain brain function. Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to reduce inflammation in the body.EPA is used for preventing and treating diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is used to prevent heart attacks, lower high blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and reverse “hardening of the blood vessels” (atherosclerosis).

EPA is also used to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, diabetes, renal disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease.Other uses include treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), migraine headache, skin cancer, depression, and allergic and inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis and eczema. Some people use EPA to prevent cancer.

DHA in anticancer treatments provides an avenue to therapeutic improvement that involves less risk or side effects for patients and reduced regulatory burden for implementation. DHA is the most lacking fatty acid in diet.

Deliciously flavored with Nature identical Vanila flavor Nutivish (48 g protein per 100ml serving) can be included in diet,but the amount of protein a patient requires should be determined by the treating clinicians
