Nestlé Health Science NOVASOURCE® GI Forte is a nutritionally complete, high-energy, high-protein liquid formula specifically developed for the dietary management of individuals experiencing enteral nutrition-associated diarrhoea and gastrointestinal-related malnutrition.

Designed for oral consumption or enteral tube feeding, this ready-to-use formula can be incorporated into individualised nutrition plans for hospitals, aged care facilities and home enteral nutrition.
Supplied in a convenient 1000mL Ready-to-Hang bottle, NOVASOURCE GI Forte requires no mixing or reconstitution.
