AquADEKs Pediatric Liquid with a delicious flavor of black cheries.

AquADEKs liquid is a complete nutritional supplement specifically designed to meet the needs of cystic fibrosis patients and those who have difficulty absorbing fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients. AquADEKs uses microsphere technology to enhance the absorption of this antioxidant multivitamin and mineral supplement. AquADEKs forms micellular-like spheres. These micelles are spherical particles that have lipophilic (fat-loving) interiors encapsulated by hydrophilic (water-loving) exteriors that facilitate absorption of fat-soluble vitamins in the body.

Deficiencies of one or more fat-soluble vitamins may occur in individuals whose diets are deficient in these vitamins or who for any number of reasons have difficulty in absorbing fats from their diets. Any condition that diminishes the function of the pancreas, the liver, or the digestive system, can cause malabsorption.

Formulated to meet the consensus nutritional guidelines for CF and incorporating the latest scientific evidence, AquADEKs Pediatric Liquid contains important antioxidants, such as coenzyme Q10, beta-carotene and gamma-tocopherol (a component of mixed tocopherols). Emerging research indicates that CF patients have lower than normal levels of these antioxidants which can lead t increased oxidative damage. This product also contains increased vitamin D and K levels to support improved bone health. In addition, AquADEKs Pediatric Liquid contains selenium, which is an essential cofactor for the body’s own antioxidant system and zinc, which has been shown to be deficient in CF patients.
