Juven is a therapeutic nutritional supplement that provides critical nutrients to support wound healing. It should be used under the supervision of a medical professional and in addition to a complete, balanced diet. Juven can be taken orally or administered as a modular via a gastrostomy or nasogastric feeding tube.
Intake:
- 2 packets per day
- Orally
- Gastrostomy or nasogastric feeding tube.
Administering Juven orally:
Juven should be mixed with 8-10 oz of water or other liquid. Juven can be mixed into hot items, such as coffee or tea, as long as the liquid is below boiling point.
Additional serving suggestions:
Juven can be mixed with a variety of foods to accommodate your patients’ diets. We recommend unflavored Juven to be mixed into foods. View our recipes for more ideas.
Mixing and storage instructions:
Juven can be mixed ahead of time. Store in a clean container and consume within 4 hours if kept at room temperature or 24 hours if stored in a refrigerator. Packets are shelf-stable for 2 years.
Administering Juven through a
gastrostomy or nasogastric feeding tube:

- Verify correct tube placement
- Flush feeding tube with 30 mL water
