Nutritional support for patients with novel coronavirus infection


In connection with the discovery of a new strain of Omicron COVID-19, nutritional support for patients with a confirmed diagnosis is becoming increasingly relevant. Continuity in the correction of nutritional status at the outpatient, inpatient and rehabilitation stages improve the quality of care for COVID-19 patients.

The European Association of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism ESPEN recommends the use of additional nutritional support in the form

of sipping where possible.

Sipping is a specialized product intended for oral use. As an example, we can give the drink Supportan, 100 ml of which contains 10g of protein, and the energy value is 1.5 kcal / ml. In addition, it contains omega-3-long-chain fatty acids that have an anti-inflammatory effect.
