Novasource Renal Mocha Ready-to-Drink Renal Nutritional Drink 8 fl oz Pack of 24 — 475 Cal, 21.6g Protein

NOVASOURCE Renal Mocha is a ready-to-drink, calorie-dense nutritional formula designed for people on dialysis who need concentrated protein and controlled electrolytes in a small volume.

When fluid allowance is limited but nutrition needs remain high, NOVASOURCE Renal provides concentrated calories, elevated protein, and tailored micronutrients to support dietary plans for renal insufficiency and dialysis. The mocha flavor aims to make each 8 fl oz carton more palatable, while the 2.0 kcal/mL concentration reduces the volume required to meet energy goals. This formulation is gluten- and lactose-free and is available in other flavors if variety is preferred.

How does this drink fit into fluid-restricted meal plans?

Because each 8 fl oz carton delivers 475 calories at 2.0 kcal/mL, you get more energy in less liquid, which helps meet daily calorie targets without exceeding strict fluid limits. That compact nutrition profile is useful when healthcare teams prescribe reduced oral fluids.

• 475 calories per carton in an 8 fl oz volume
• 2.0 kcal/mL concentrates energy into smaller servings
• Suitable for timed or limited-fluid regimens advised by clinicians

What does it provide for protein and muscle maintenance?

NOVASOURCE Renal supplies 21.6 grams of protein per carton, an amount intended to help preserve lean body mass for people undergoing dialysis. The higher protein ratio reflects the increased needs many dialysis patients have compared with the general population.

• 21.6 g protein (about 18% of calories from protein)
• Protein level supports nutritional strategies to maintain muscle
• Convenient single‑serve cartons for consistent intake tracking

Are electrolytes and nutrients adjusted for kidney-related diets?

The formula is formulated with nutrient and electrolyte levels intended to align with clinical guidance for renal nutrition; however, individual prescriptions vary, so review with your dietitian or care team. The product aims to balance vitamins and minerals while managing components often limited in renal diets.

• Specifically developed with renal nutrition recommendations in mind
• Includes a mix of vitamins and minerals appropriate for dialysis contexts
• Not suitable for parenteral (IV) use; follow oral nutrition orders

How does the mocha flavor and formulation help with taste and tolerability?

Mocha flavoring is offered to improve acceptance when smaller volumes must meet large nutrition needs—taste becomes more important under fluid restriction. The product is lactose-free and gluten-free, increasing tolerability for people with those dietary sensitivities, though it is not for individuals with galactosemia.

• Café mocha flavor developed for better palatability in small servings
• Lactose‑free and gluten‑free to reduce common intolerances
• Available in multiple flavors (Vanilla, Mocha, Strawberry) for variety

Who is this for: NOVASOURCE Renal Mocha is intended for adults under the direction of healthcare professionals who require concentrated oral nutrition because of chronic kidney disease, dialysis, or other conditions that restrict fluid or electrolytes. It is formulated for oral consumption, not for intravenous use, and should be used according to individualized clinical plans and dietary guidelines provided by a registered dietitian or physician.
