Now, let’s break down what’s inside.

Organic Cane Sugar
TRIFECTA Sport is specifically crafted to bolster your body’s recovery pre, during, and post-exercise by supplying essential carbohydrates. Unlike its sugary counterparts, it employs a judicious amount of cane sugar, ensuring a healthier alternative for the health minded and active individual.

Himalayan Sea Salt
This hydrating beverage is formulated to replenish vital fluids and key electrolytes lost during physical exertion. With its rich sodium content, TRIFECTA Sport expedites the restoration of these crucial nutrients, making it an ideal companion for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike, ensuring optimal hydration and swift recovery.

Potassium
TRIFECTA Sport is designed to replenish potassium, a mineral often depleted during strenuous activity or illness. This product is particularly advantageous for athletes grappling with fatigue, as potassium is integral to maintaining fluid balance in the body, working synergistically with sodium and chloride. By incorporating TRIFECTA Sport into your regimen, you can sustain normal potassium levels and enhance your overall vitality.

Organic Coconut Water
Coconut water, a natural powerhouse, is replete with essential nutrients that facilitate muscle recovery. Rich in carbohydrates, potassium, and magnesium, it plays a pivotal role in restoring your body post-workout. Its hydrating properties make it a stellar addition to TRIFECTA Sport.

Vitamin B12
This vital nutrient is indispensable for the synthesis of red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen is subsequently transformed into energy, underpinning optimal physiological functions. Furthermore, vitamin B12 is crucial for DNA synthesis, essential for cellular formation. By augmenting your intake of vitamin B12 through TRIFECTA Sport, you can revitalize your energy reserves and bolster your overall health.

Magnesium
TRIFECTA Sport is infused with magnesium, a mineral that supports healthy muscle function and recovery. Magnesium is essential for the metabolism of energy-rich compounds, making it critical for post-exercise recuperation. Regular physical activity can deplete magnesium levels, potentially impairing performance and weakening the immune system. TRIFECTA Sport aids in replenishing magnesium, thereby enhancing immune function and serving as an optimal solution for those recovering from vigorous workouts.

Vitamin D
This essential nutrient has the potential to elevate athletic performance. Vitamin D offers myriad health benefits for athletes, including a reduction in sick days and stress levels. It not only contributes to muscle health but also facilitates muscle contractions, enabling peak performance. To maintain optimal vitamin D levels, incorporate TRIFECTA Sport into your hydration strategy.

In a market saturated with sugary, artificial options, TRIFECTA Sport stands as a beacon of health, offering a harmonious blend of taste and wellness.

Bariatric surgery, despite its inherent advantages in terms of length of stay and risk factors, prompts the question of the necessity of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocols.

Challenges such as postoperative nausea, vomiting, and oral intake intolerance are prevalent in bariatric procedures, with dehydration being a primary concern post-surgery.

Recent studies indicate the safety of preoperative carbohydrate consumption for obese individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, debunking previous notions of increased risks associated with gastric residuals in this patient population.

Insights from Research:
Carbohydrate loading pre-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has shown promise in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting duration, challenging the traditional practice of nil per os (NPO) after midnight.

The utilization of CF(Preop)®, a complex carbohydrate drink, is advocated for bariatric patients, including those with a history of gastric bypass, with recommendations on consumption methods to enhance tolerance and prevent discomfort.

Recent research supports the intake of clear fluids up to 2 hours pre-anesthesia induction for both healthy and obese patients, emphasizing the benefits of preoperative carbohydrate conditioning in reducing insulin resistance and preserving lean body mass.

Studies have shown that preoperative carbohydrate drinks do not impact gastric emptying times in patients with type II diabetes and do not increase aspiration-related complications in laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures, highlighting the safety and efficacy of such interventions in bariatric surgery settings.

CF Nutrition’s Role in Postoperative Hydration:
Hydration poses a significant challenge for bariatric patients post-surgery due to reduced stomach capacity. CF(Rehydrate)® and CF(Rehydrate)® IMMUNITY+ offer a solution by providing enhanced hydration along with essential vitamins and minerals crucial for mitigating postoperative complications and nutrient deficiencies.

There are several ways CF Nutrition’s products can help patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Visit our website to shop now and learn more about the benefits our products can offer.

ERAS® principles are well established and preoperative carbohydrate loading has been adopted in several hospitals across the United States. What you may be wondering is CF(Preop)® safe for children and how much should they consume? The short answer YES, CF(Preop)® is not only safe but encouraged for children to consume before surgery. Today, we break down all the details regarding the consumption of CF(Preop)® by children. 

CF(Preop)® & Enhanced Recovery

In both adults and children, studies have shown that doctors who implement and patients who follow ERAS® protocol, including a recommended perioperative nutrition plan, can:

• Shorten length of stay (LOS)
• Reduce cost through early mobilization
• Improve outcomes in patient satisfaction
• Improve outcomes in caregiver satisfaction

Why Children Should Drink CF(Preop)®

Preoperative carbohydrate loading has several benefits in the pediatric population. Research has shown that the most notable postoperative complication in pediatric surgery is postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Anesthesia complications are more severe and common in children than adults, so preoperative carbohydrate loading is crucial for pediatric patients undergoing surgery. 

Current research suggests: 

• Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common complication in pediatric anesthesia and is a source of significant morbidity.
• The incidence of PONV in children is alarmingly high, as it is estimated to be between 33.2% to 82% depending on patient risk factors.
• Post-discharge nausea and vomiting include symptoms that persist for up to 7 days after anesthesia.
• PONV occurs twice as often in children than in adults and can lead to longer PACU stays, delays in hospital discharge, and subsequent unplanned readmissions, which ultimately lead to a significant financial burden on the patients.
• The syndrome of nausea, vomiting, and dehydration is one of the leading causes of pediatric readmissions, accounting for 51.2% of such cases. Moreover, pediatric readmission, within one week of discharge, is estimated to contribute to $1 billion in healthcare costs annually.

In 2018 a randomized control trial was conducted on 120 children in Germany undergoing a  gastroscopy. The control group did a standard NPO fast and the intervention group used a preoperative carbohydrate drink. The results from this study showed that the intervention group had a reduction in nausea and gastric content. This study was published in the British Journal of Anesthesiology in 2018 

Research has shown that the most notable postoperative complication in pediatric surgery is PONV. Anesthesia complications are more severe and common than in adults so preoperative carbohydrate loading is crucial in children undergoing surgery. The incidence of PONV varies from 13 to 42% in children and adults without prophylaxis. Incidence of PONV varies with different anesthetic options, from patient to patient, and operating procedure.
