GEMINI HEALTH Cherad-ONS - Food for Special Medical Purposes

A new result of the Gemelli nutritional research arrives at the disposal of Patients and Doctors: GemelliHealth ™ Cherad-ONS is an AFMS (Food for Special Medical Purposes) specifically formulated for the dietary management of nutritional deficits of patients undergoing chemo-radiant treatments, based on of the clinical features of such patients.

Let's see in detail the characteristics and purposes of this new nutritional support signed by GHS. Treatments in the field of cancer , in particular chemotherapy and radiotherapy , can cause adverse effects and physiological changes that impact on food intake and on the nutritional status of patients.

The stress response resulting from such treatments can also have direct effects on metabolism and body composition .

In particular, changes in glucose metabolism, muscle mass loss and increased lipid peroxidation during chemotherapy can affect energy expenditure.

Often during these treatments various types of nutritional deficiencies develop, including, for example

- chemo-induced anemia,

- vitamin B12 deficiency,

- deficiency of vitamin D3 and other essential nutrients.

Therefore, the main nutritional goal is the achievement of adequate calorie-protein quotas in conditions in which the patient struggles to eat, both due to side effects induced by chemotherapy (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) and radiotherapy (mucositis, dysphagia, radiodermatitis, hand-foot syndrome, radio-induced enteritis, oral ulcerations, xerostomia, chemosensory changes).
