What JUVEN Is and How It Can Help

Juven® is targeted nutritional therapy that helps build and maintain lean body mass. It contains a patented blend of arginine, glutamine and β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) that helps build lean body mass.

• HMB helps reverse muscle breakdown and increase protein synthesis.1,2
• Arginine supports protein synthesis and improves nitrogen balance.3,4
• Glutamine supports protein synthesis and preserves muscle glutamine.5,6

Targeted nutrition therapy can help cancer patients offset the loss of lean body mass brought on by their disease by addressing the underlying metabolic abnormalities caused by the cancer.
