Answer to Question 1

Standard formulas, also called polymeric formulas, are provided to individuals who can digest and absorb nutrients without difficulty. They contain intact proteins extracted from milk or soybeans or a combination of such proteins. The carbohydrate sources include hydrolyzed cornstarch, glucose polymers and sugars. Elemental formulas, also called hydrolyzed formulas, are prescribed for patients who have compromised digestive or absorptive functions. Elemental formulas contain proteins and carbohydrates that have been partially or fully broken down to fragments that require little digestion.
