[Flavor improvement of the Vivasorb --elementary diet]

By addition of special flavours and spices and making use of fruit juices and soups we were able to achieve an improvement in the taste of the "astronaut diet" Vivasorb. Experiences in the case of 15 patients which allowed long-term treatment with a reduced degree of difficulty were put forward. In some cases, however, methods had to be applied which do not quite adhere to the principle of feeding completely elementary nutrients.
