Commonly Asked Questions
What volume of Clinutren Junior would provide a nutritionally complete feed?

At 1kcal/ml dilution, 1000ml (1000kcal) provides 100% RNI for children aged 1-3 years. 1500ml (1500kcal) provides 100% RNI for children 4-6 years.

At 1.5kcal/ml dilution, 700ml (1050kcal) provides 100% RNI for children aged 1-3 years. 1000ml (1500kcal) provides 100% RNI for children aged 4-6 years.
Why does Clinutren Junior powder contain sucrose? Due to the flexible nature of this product, it can be used as an oral sip feed as well as a tube feed. To improve palatability, therefore, sucrose has been added:

  • 4.49g/100ml (at 1kcal/ml dilution)
  • 6.74g/100ml (at 1.5kcal/ml dilution)
In addition to improved flavour, the additional sucrose also allows the product to dissolve easily in water. Children taking any oral nutritional supplements should be encouraged to follow good oral hygiene
Why should sterile/cooled boiled water be used to mix Clinutren Junior powder? There are potential risks involved with bacterial contamination from tap water. During illness a child's immune system can be compromised. In view of this risk it is safer to use sterile water in the healthcare setting, and cooled boiled water at home.
Can the powder be reconstituted to a more energy dense feed, for example to 2kcal/ml? This is possible but not recommended without close supervision by healthcare professional. It would produce a very concentrated, thick and hyperosmolar feed. The 1.5kcal dilution is aimed to meet the high requirements of very sick children (i.e. 120-150% of standard energy requirements). Introducing a more concentrated feed would also increase the protein and electrolyte load, so that extremely close monitoring would be necessary.
Can the powder be flavoured? The powder is already vanilla flavour, but additional flavour can be added. For example, using Nesquik powder or milkshake syrup flavours. This will further increase the sugar content, so extra care is needed with dental hygiene.
Can adults have Clinutren Junior feed? The Clinutren Junior range is in no way harmful to adults. However, the nutritional content of the feed is formulated to children's requirements, and would therefore be inadequate for an adult's requirements.
What is the recommended reservoir hanging time for Clinutren Junior when tube feeding? The recommended hanging time is 4 hours after reconsitution of feed.
