Abstract

This study demonstrates that a noncoagulating enteral formula can empty faster from the stomach compared with coagulating formulas in a large cohort of healthy volunteers. Investigations on the efficiency of the noncoagulating P4 protein blend in patients requiring tube feeding will further elucidate its potential for reducing upper digestive intolerance during enteral nutrition.
