Glucose-1-phosphate

Glucose-1-phosphate 0.66 mmol/ml (Phocytan 0.66 mmol/ml) is given as an intravenous infusion for parenteral nutrition, so the nutrients go straight into the bloodstream. The pharmacological benefits include the following. Phosphate is absorbed and used efficiently by the body for energy production through ATP, bone mineralization, and cellular membrane function and DNA synthesis. Glucose is a primary source of quick energy. Amino acids support protein synthesis, which is needed for tissue repair, muscle growth and immune function. Lipids provide essential fatty acids, and the body uses these in membrane synthesis and hormone production. Electrolytes help maintain fluid balance, nerve function and muscle function. Vitamins and trace elements support metabolic processes, enzyme activation, immune function and antioxidant protection.
