This diet contains:

- All essential amino acids, making protein more easily absorbable
- High levels of arginine and glutamine to meet the needs of the debilitated patient
- A highly digestible, easily absorbable blend of fats and simple carbohydrates for energy
- Balanced omega 3:6 polyunsaturated fatty acids
