Isosource
What it is
Isosource is a ready-to-drink beverage designed to provide complete nutrition. It comes in a convenient liquid form, making it easy to consume when whole foods are not an option. This drink is formulated to offer a balanced profile of macronutrients and micronutrients.
How people cook with it
This drink is often used as a supplement or a sole source of nutrition. It can be incorporated into various dietary plans.
- As a meal replacement
- For supplemental nutrition
- In tube feeding
- As a convenient beverage
Isosource can be consumed directly from the container at room temperature. For a cooler beverage, it can be chilled in the refrigerator before serving. When used for tube feeding, follow the specific instructions provided by a healthcare professional or the product's guidelines for administration.
How it differs from similar foods
It is formulated to be a complete source of sustenance, unlike typical juices or milk which provide fewer types of nutrients. Its texture is generally smooth and consistent.
How to keep the rest
Unopened containers of Isosource should be stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, any unused portion must be refrigerated and consumed within the timeframe specified on the packaging, typically 24 to 48 hours. Discard any unused portion after this period.
