Immunonutrition means nutritional drinks enriched with specific nutrients (arginine, omega-3 fats, nucleotides) meant to strengthen immune function, mostly given before major surgery.
Pre-operative immunonutrition for 5-7 days is recommended by ESPEN and ERAS for major upper gastrointestinal and head and neck cancer surgery on the basis of meta-analyses showing fewer infectious complications. The trial base is old and largely industry-sponsored, and recent trials are less positive; the term is also used loosely by supplement marketers.
