When undergoing extensive cancer treatment, good nutrition and sufficient rest are imperative to helping you in your fight.
But what happens when the side effects of treatment cause you to become nauseous at the thought of food?
Weight maintenance is essential for recovery and keeping your immunity strong, however, about 40% of patients who are going through cancer treatment have experienced unwanted weight loss due to lack of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea. Many patients will resort to buying high calorie drinks to help with maintaining their weight and energy.
However, the reality is that cancer treatment damages the healthy cells in your stomach called villi that are responsible for nutrient absorption, which helps you maintain your weight. Cancer treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy can cause the villi to shrink, resulting in less efficient nutrient absorption, increased weight loss, and even dehydration. Furthermore, cancer treatments cause gaps to develop along the gut’s protective barrier. When these gaps form, harmful toxins and germs can enter the bloodstream leading to diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.
Even if you are able to consume your high-calorie nutritional drink, the damage done to your GI will prevent you from reaping the full advantages because not all the nutrients from that calorie-dense beverage will be absorbed.
We have a solution.
Enterade Advanced Oncology Formula is specifically designed to support your GI from the side effects of treatment. Enterade works by using a proprietary formula of plant-based amino acids that work with your body’s natural healing system to help rebuild the gut villi and restore proper function. Additionally, enterade can help close the gaps along your intestinal wall to keep out any potential toxins. Enterade is clinically proven to help reduce diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and dehydration.
With the help of enterade, 77% of patients saw improvement in unwanted weight loss.
It is important to understand that enterade is not high in calories and should not be used as a nutritional supplement. However, enterade should be used in addition to a calorie-dense nutritional drink, as they can work collaboratively in helping you retain and gain weight.
** enterade must be taken on an empty stomach, 30mins before or 60mins after consuming food or drink. **
It is also critical to understand that not all high-calorie nutrient drinks are beneficial during treatment. Some of these supplements include a lot of sugar. Sugar has been reported to promote tumor growth, though this has not been scientifically confirmed. Also, sugar might exacerbate diarrhea. As a result, Enterade contains no sugar. Explore low-sugar supplementary drinks or consult with your dietitian about alternative products.
I’m interested to understand more.
I have allergies to garlic etc.

I have had oral cancer and have MBC. I pretty much live on a liquid diet, mostly milk based drinks. Is there any nutritional value to Entered?
Hi Cindy, enterade is not like a nutritional beverage like boost or ensure because it has a low number of calories. Enterade goes to the source of the weight loss and other GI side effects with the help of specially formulated amino acids that work with your body’s natural healing system. enterade helps to rebuild the damage to the intestinal villi caused by chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy. When the villi are damaged or blunted, the gut’s ability to absorb nutrients is inhibited. enterade promotes better nutrient absorption helping patients maintain a healthy weight while undergoing cancer treatment. Additionally, cancer treatments cause gaps to form in the protective barrier of the gut. When these gaps form, harmful toxins and bacteria can pass from the intestine into the bloodstream. enterade helps to close those gaps to prevent these harmful toxins from entering the body–ultimately helping to prevent symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malaise, and fatigue. Enterade would be helpful in conjunction with a high calorie beverage because enterade will make sure your gut is in working order so it will be able to absorb all the nutrients from your food and nutritional drinks.

Is Enterade effective in treating diarrhea that is not caused by the chemotherapy? The patient’s diarrhea in this case is caused by the actual pancreatic tumor.
Hi Mati, enterade may be able to help with symptoms from a pancreatic tumor. We have seen success in symptom management in patients with NET. Best to discuss with your doctor prior to adding enterade to your regimen, especially if you have any sodium or potassium restrictions related to a pancreatic tumor. Best of luck! Reach out if you have any other questions.
