It is a prescription formula prescribed by the gastro doc, a nutritionist, or one of the other many doctors we have. There are several strengths to Jevity or any of the other high calorie nutritional formulas. There are probably over 100 different ones a person can be on. Usually the calories in these formulas range from 175 to 575 with most being 375 per can. These are completye balanced nutrition some with fiber and some without. Im sure someone could drink these things if they really wanted to but the smell of it is like baby formula. Mine is put into a feeding bag with a can or 2 of water and run thru a feeding pump while I sleep.
