Can patients continue taking supplements and medications?Updated 2 days ago

Continuing medications and supplements during an elemental diet is ultimately at your discretion as the treating provider. You know your patients best. That said, there are a couple of areas worth a closer look before or during treatment.

If your patient is supplementing to address a specific deficiency, it's worth reviewing our nutritional panel alongside their current supplement regimen. mBIOTA Elemental already delivers a comprehensive profile of vitamins and minerals, and accounting for those levels can help you avoid unintentional over-supplementation.

Additionally, for any supplements containing significant fiber, keep in mind that the foundation of an elemental diet is the removal of fermentable fiber. Any fiber-containing supplements may work against the intended therapeutic effect.

And as always, our sales representatives are available to answer any product-specific questions you may have and give you the product-level insight that helps you make the most informed decisions for your patients. Book a call with your rep now.
