Novasource Renal Vanilla 8oz Single/Case
Novasource® Renal Nutritional Formula — Vanilla, 8 oz Carton
Use Under Medical Supervision. Not for parenteral (IV) use. Not suitable for individuals with galactosemia. Intended for adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI), per a healthcare provider's guidance.
A Calorically-Dense Formula Built for Kidney Disease and Dialysis Needs
Novasource® Renal is a nutritionally complete, calorically dense formula developed specifically for people with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, acute kidney injury, or fluid and electrolyte restrictions related to CKD or AKI. Each 8 oz serving delivers 475 calories and roughly 22g of protein — about 19% of calories from protein — helping replace protein losses associated with dialysis while supporting lean muscle.
The formula's electrolyte content (potassium, sodium, magnesium, and phosphorus) is optimized specifically to help manage the imbalances common in kidney disease, and it's formulated to meet A.S.P.E.N. Clinical Guidelines for Nutrition Support in Acute and Chronic Renal Failure. Because fluid restriction is often part of a renal care plan, the calorie density means meaningful nutrition can be delivered in a smaller volume — and taste matters more when intake itself is limited.

Equipment Specialist Insight: Renal-specific formulas exist because standard nutrition drinks are often a poor fit for kidney disease — a typical high-potassium, high-phosphorus supplement can work against the very electrolyte management a renal diet requires. Novasource Renal's optimized electrolyte profile is the whole reason it's a distinct product rather than a substitute for a general formula like Boost or Ensure. The high calorie density per ounce is also deliberate: many dialysis patients are on a fluid restriction, so delivering adequate calories and protein in a smaller volume matters as much as the nutrient profile itself. This is not a general-wellness product — use should be guided by a nephrologist, renal dietitian, or the individual's broader care team, not chosen independently based on a kidney-related symptom alone.

Q: Who is this formula for?
A: Adults with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, acute kidney injury, or fluid/electrolyte restrictions related to CKD or AKI, used under the guidance of a nephrologist, renal dietitian, or care team. It's not intended for general nutritional supplementation outside of a kidney-related care plan.
Q: How is this different from a general nutrition drink like Boost or Ensure?
A: Novasource Renal's electrolyte content (potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus) is specifically optimized for kidney disease management, unlike general-purpose nutrition drinks that aren't formulated with renal electrolyte restrictions in mind. It's also more calorically dense, delivering more calories in a smaller volume for anyone on a fluid restriction.
Q: Can it be used for tube feeding?
A: Yes, under a healthcare provider's guidance. Pump-assisted administration with a small-bore feeding tube is generally recommended; follow the specific instructions provided by the individual's care team.
