[Effects of a fully balanced synthetic diet on physical efficiency (author's transl)]

Nutrition with Biosorbin MCT and Biosorbin forte had no disadvantageous effect in any single case. There are no hidden risks if controlled by suitable tests to see whether the fluid supply is satisfactorily adjusted in the individual case. Subjective assessment from a felling of thirst is unreliable. Clinically and ergospirometrically there is an increase in capacity in almost all groups after taking the diet. This is all the more clear if the simultaneous reduction in body weight is taken into account. A direct effect of the elementary constituents of the diet is clearly recognizable. As a result of being rapidly absorbed and metabolized there are immediately available as energy suppliers and delay the threatening fall in efficiency. In almost all subjects an improvement in respiratory economy was achieved, the body weight approached the ideal weight and the relative efficiency improved.
