The type of tube feeding formula that contains partially or completely hydrolyzed nutrients, including protein, and altered fats is known as a "hydrolyzed" or "elemental" formula. These formulas are designed for patients with malabsorption issues or specific gastrointestinal conditions, as they are easier to digest and absorb. They typically contain amino acids instead of whole proteins and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) for fat. This makes them suitable for individuals with impaired digestive capabilities.
