Claims7
A nutritional composition for providing enteral or parenteral nutrition to a patient comprising:
- (a) an α-D-glucopyranosyl C2-C20 alkanoate;
- and
- (b) a β-D-glucopyranosyl C2-C20 alkanoate, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) is greater than about 2:1.
A method for providing nutritional support to a patient comprising enterally or parenterally administering to a patient in need of nutritional support a nutritional composition comprising a solution of:
- (a) an α-D-glucopyranosyl C2-C20 alkanoate;
- and
- (b) β-D-glucopyranosyl C2-C20 alkanoate, wherein the weight ratio of (a):(b) is greater than about 2:1.
