Answer to Question 1

Commercial supplements are popular because of their convenience and also because patients and caregivers may be familiar with them due to direct-to-consumer marketing. However, acceptability and intake are highly individual. Patients receiving oral supplements frequently develop taste fatigue a few days after supplements are initiated, and supplement intake then decreases. It is also important to remember that merely providing supplemental feedings will not increase appetite.
