Abstract
Critically ill patients might benefit from specialized nutrients provided in addition to macro- and micronutrients. Initially, the theoretical basis for specialized nutrition support relates to the altered immune response associated with the prolonged inflammatory status. For instance, immune-enhancing or immune-modulating nutrition formulas have been considered as logical and attractive options in critically ill patients [1]. Subsequently, changes in the composition of nutritional formulas were brought to compensate for specific deficiencies.
