How RELiZORB works
Your doctor may prescribe RELiZORB for you if your body needs help breaking down (digesting) fats from your enteral tube feeding formula. RELiZORB is a digestive enzyme cartridge that contains the enzyme lipase. RELiZORB is used with enteral feeding to help break down the the fat in formula. Lipase is the enzyme that is normally made in the body to break down (digest) fats (trigyclerides) into an absorbable form (fatty acids and monoglycerides). The lipase enzyme used in RELiZORB is attached to the white beads (iLipase), which are visible through the side of the cartridge.
RELiZORB connects directly to your feeding tube
Inside the RELiZORB cartridge is a digestive enzyme called lipase, which is attached to the small white beads that you can see through the clear cartridge.
As the enteral tube feeding formula passes through the RELiZORB cartridge, it makes contact with the lipase-enzyme bead combination (called iLipase), and the fat in the formula is broken down to an absorbable form (called fatty acids and monoglycerides).
Fats in their absorbable form (fatty acids and monoglycerides) leave the RELiZORB cartridge and enter your body, while the iLipase remains in the cartridge.
iLipase®
The digestive enzyme lipase is attached to polymeric microbead carriers and is stored within the RELiZORB cartridge without being ingested.
