Oral formulas as a sole source of nutriment proved to be valuable in a variety of metabolic studies. Patients had no difficulty in taking liquid feedings for periods up to 16 weeks.

A few basic formulas can meet the needs of various metabolic studies. The three most useful in our experience are described.
