Remune™ – Your partner in the nutritional management of oncological patients

Remune™ is a key product in nutrition therapy of cancer patients.

Product description

Remune™ is a partially balanced Food for Special Medical Purposes (FSMP) for the dietary management of disease-related malnutrition in patients with pre-cachexia or cachexia especially due to cancer or COPD and for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

Remune™ is a supplement to be used in addition to normal food or in combination with standard oral nutrition supplements (ONS).

Remune™ aims to increase the intake of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil and vitamin D3 together with energy and protein in order to supply patients with sufficient amounts of nutrients which they may not get through their normal diet. Remune™ is not suitable as the sole source of nutrition.

Why Remune™?

You are looking for a tasty supplement in compliance with the ESPEN and ASPEN guidelines for nutrition in oncology? Remune™ has a smoothie-like texture and is very tasty.

Moreover, it contains EPA and DHA from low oxidized fish oil to supplement the nutritional needs of cancer patients at risk of malnutrition or with cachexia and pre-cachexia.

Potentially better survival in the subset of patients with pre-cachexia (post-hoc analysis, Fig. 1)
No negative effect on tolerability of the platinum-based chemotherapy treatment¹
Good tolerability – numerical smaller number of adverse events compared to the comparator group (64 vs. 87 AE)¹
Increased omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and vitamin D levels in plasma
