Abbott Nutrition Juven Fruit Punch, 24 Gr Packet, Institutional

Juven was given to me at my hospital to assist with my recovery from an osteomyelitis infection, spinal surgery and decupidus ulcers. Per recommendation by doctors and my nutritionist, I began taking it at home several weeks post release and noticed a marked increase in recovery rate within a couple of weeks, particularly regarding the ulcers. I thought about just purchasing the amino acids, but one would require SEVEN 1,000 mg capsules EACH of both L-Arginine and L-Glutamine (14 servings total) to obtain the equivalent amounts per serving of Juven. (To increase Juven's efficacy, however, I would recommend taking a multi-amino acid complex with Vit B-6 and Ester-C prior to drinking your Juven.) I've tried all three flavors and prefer the Fruit Punch - it makes for a zesty drink when added to fresh orange juice. The Orange flavor is okay mixed in water and the Unflavored can be added to anything. Juven does not noticeably increase the thickness of any liquid to which it's added. To avoid wasting any powder, pour 2 oz of liquid into a cup first, add the Juven, stir a little, then add the remaining 6 oz of liquid and stir completely. Supplementing a healthy diet with Juven will augment your body's tissue building capabilities, whether used post surgically or for bodybuilding.

I had to have a full mouth of oral implants due to radiation destroying my teeth after cancer. I knew I was going to heal slowly because of the chemo and other issues. This product helped me heal SO FAST!!! I’m amazed at how well I healed and my surgeon is very pleased!! He actually said he would start recommending this to his patients on a regular basis. I found it worked best for me in either those sugar free koolaid sticks you add to a water bottle, or in a single Gatorade bottle. Bottles make it easier to keep shaking it up as it takes some work to get it to dissolve. But by the time you’re close to the end it’s completely dissolved. Worked miracles for me!! I highly recommend it!! I bought the fruit punch and used it in grape or cherry flavored drinks and it tasted fine!! I’m so glad I got this or I know I wouldn’t have had the same outcome from surgery...especially since I couldn’t eat anything and was really lacking protein except for what was in the ensure drinks. I’m a definite fan!!! Thanks Abbott!!!!

They are perfect for helping repair skin after a major burn

I am paralyzed from just under my chest down, and try as I might, I get bed sores on my bottom from sitting still so long. This prevents healthy blood flow in pressure spots. My point? Really the only cure is to stay off of the affected area and do what you can to regrow healthy tissue. My caregivers in the hospital (can I say Doctors here?) recommended Juven Powder to do this and I must say that it seems to work well in speeding the time it takes to heal that wound!I chose the fruit flavor because it mixes well with sugar free drink mixes, but I have to admit that even though it says you can mix it with anything, I couldn't Imagine drinking it with coffee or milk...you know what I mean.

Helped my mother in law heal faster from sores.

If you were debating whether you should purchase the orange flavored or fruit punch , I’ve had both. I can assure you the fruit punch is less medicinal tasting! This shipped quickly and was helpful in healing an abdominal would post-surgery.

My wife just started using it. She likes it so far.

This really worked for me. I had a ruptured appendicitis with complications, and took Juven religiously. The wounds healed faster than anticipated, much to my relief.
