The formulation is designed to support tissue repair and modulate oxidative stress in catabolic states. It is indicated for the dietary management of surgical, trauma, burn and chronic wound patients requiring enhanced glutamine and antioxidant intake.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresenius Kabi Glutamine Plus Orange is a specialised oral nutritional supplement formulated for patients experiencing elevated glutamine demand due to surgical stress, burns, trauma or chronic inflammatory conditions. Each 22.4 g sachet delivers 10 g of free L-glutamine alongside a targeted antioxidant blend, reconstituted by dissolving in 200 ml of cold or room-temperature water. The orange-flavoured powder is designed for palatable oral consumption as a supplement to regular enteral nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlutamine is the most abundant conditionally essential amino acid in the body and serves as a primary fuel source for enterocytes and immune cells. Under catabolic stress, endogenous glutamine production is insufficient to meet demand, leading to mucosal atrophy and compromised immune function. Glutamine Plus addresses this deficit with a clinically relevant dose of free L-glutamine supported by micronutrients that counteract oxidative damage at the cellular level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse;

ESPEN guidelines note that plasma glutamine levels fall significantly after major surgery, leading to impaired enterocyte proliferation and reduced lymphocyte function. Supplementation at doses of 20–30 g per day has been associated with shorter hospital stays and reduced infectious complications in multiple randomised controlled trials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Glutamine Plus include antioxidants alongside L-glutamine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurgical stress and tissue injury generate reactive oxygen species that delay wound healing and amplify the inflammatory cascade. The combination of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc and selenium provides complementary antioxidant protection across both aqueous and lipid compartments. This synergistic formulation aligns with recommendations from the European Wound Management Association (EWMA) for perioperative micronutrient support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Glutamine Plus suitable for tube feeding?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Fresenius Kabi specifies that Glutamine Plus is intended for oral administration only and is not recommended for enteral tube feeding. For patients requiring parenteral glutamine supplementation, Fresenius Kabi offers Dipeptiven (L-alanyl-L-glutamine) as an intravenous alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan this product be used in paediatric patients?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlutamine Plus is not suitable for children under 10 years of age. Paediatric glutamine supplementation should be discussed with a paediatric dietitian or clinical nutritionist familiar with age-appropriate dosing protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I purchase Glutamine Plus for my Singapore clinic or hospital?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlutamine Plus is available for purchase through EMIS (Essential Medical International Supplies Pte Ltd) for delivery within Singapore. Institutional and bulk pricing is available for hospitals, clinics and long-term care facilities. The product is classified as a Food for Special Medical Purposes and may be procured without a prescription, though clinical supervision of use is recommended per ESPEN guidelines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What is Fresenius Kabi Glutamine Plus Orange – High-Glutamine Medical Nutrition Powder with Antioxidants (30 used for?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Fresenius Kabi Glutamine Plus Orange – High-Glutamine Medical Nutrition Powder with Antioxidants (30 by Fresenius Kabi is a protective powder used to manage moist or irritated peristomal skin, often as part of the crusting technique with a skin barrier spray.
