Product Overview
ElementGold Plus+ Unsweetened Vanilla is a nutritionally complete elemental shake with added protein. It is formulated from high quality ingredients for rapid absorption and minimal triggering of sensitive digestive systems.
Originally formulated for the nutritional support of sufferers of Crohn's Disease and IBS, these foods are also suitable for:
- Sensitive Digestive Systems
- Trouble Chewing or Swallowing
- Difficulty Digesting or Absorbing
ElementGold Plus+ Unsweetened Vanilla has no added sweetener so that a sweetener you can tolerate can be added for taste. Most people prefer when they add a sweetener and if you are not sure, we'd suggest using a pure stevia.
As different fats can be a trigger ingredient for some people, ElementGold Plus+ contains no added fat but up to 15mL of a suitable oil (such as flax seed oil or MCT) should be added for balanced nutrition.
This pouch contains a single, 100g serve and is made by mixing the entire packet with 250 mL of cold water and oil as a fat source and stirring, shaking or blending on a low speed. Each serve made with oil provides 2030 kJ (485 kcal) of balanced nutrition. The number of serves you need is based on this energy value but as with all food, some days you may be more hungry than others. Note that there is also a 1kg tub containing 10 serves.

CONTAINS MILK
Contains Milk?
ElementGold Plus+ Unsweetened Vanilla has whole protein added that was isolated from the liquid part of milk (whey) which is why the ingredients must be labelled with "Contains Milk".
The Ion-Exchange process used to isolate the protein from the whey results in a very high protein purity (92%) which minimises damaging protein chains. This protein contains no casein and a 340mL serve contains only 0.1g of lactose, which is extremely low compared to the 15 to 17g typically found in the same amount of cows milk.
However, if you need to avoid the proteins found in milk whey or trace amounts of impurities, consider ElementGold Plus+ Vegan products which add protein extracted from rice.
