Optivive Clear Pre-Surgery Nutrition Drink, Fruit Punch 16oz (4-Pack) — Fast-Absorbing Calories & Hydration

Optivive Pre-covery Elixir is a clear, ready-to-drink nutrition beverage formulated to provide fast-absorbing calories, hydration, and supportive ingredients for people preparing for surgery, colonoscopy prep, or undergoing chemotherapy.

When medical procedures require a clear-liquid diet or patients need an easy-to-drink source of calories and fluids, Optivive delivers concentrated, quickly digestible nutrition in a fruit punch-flavored clear liquid. Created by a surgeon to help patients maintain energy and hydration during periods when solid foods are restricted, this 16 oz bottle (sold in a convenient 4-pack) replaces empty, watery fluids with purposeful ingredients like maltodextrin and Manuka honey while avoiding artificial dyes. The product aims to support comfort and stamina during pre-op fasting, colonoscopy preparation, and treatment-related fatigue without compromising the clarity required for procedures.

Who is this for: Optivive is intended for adults and caregivers seeking a clear-liquid meal alternative during pre-operative fasting, colonoscopy prep, or cancer treatment periods when solid foods are restricted or appetite is low. It’s useful for people who need an easily tolerated, dye-free beverage that supplies calories, hydration, and a gentle flavor—especially when maintaining energy matters during medical procedures or recovery.
