A Full Elemental Diet
Elemental shakes were first developed by NASA as an efficient way to feed astronauts. If you have a sensitive digestive system, loss of appetite, experience nausea or have difficulties swallowing… ABSORB PLUS® is a quick, easy, 100% natural way to nourish your body with top quality nutrition.
An elemental diet is also referred to as a bowel rest diet. An elemental diet is a liquid diet that contains all the basic nutrients your body needs.
The nutrients are in pre-digested form so they require very little digestion and the nutrients are easily and quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. In this way an elemental diet supplies your nutritional needs whilst giving your digestive system a rest.
Jini Patel Thompson is a pioneer in using elemental diets to help heal digestive disorders – her podcasts and videos on how to use an elemental diet are available here.
Some people choose to do an exclusively elemental diet for 2-6 weeks, while others prefer a half-elemental diet; shakes combined with low residue foods.
To figure out how many shakes per day you will need on an exclusively elemental diet, see our Product Use guidelines.
