Valens Carborie Glucose Polymer (Readily Absorbed Glucose) 350g

Carborie® is a readily absorbed glucose polymer produced by patented controlled depolymerization and agglomeration of cornstarch. It is a medical nutrition supplement suitable for providing extra calories to persons with increase energy needs and/or to persons who are unable to achieve sufficient energy requirements with their normal diet.

It provides higher caloric density without exceeding osmotic balance with lower risk of osmotic diarrhea. Carborie® is instantised, quick dispersed and with excellent solubility.
