CF Nutrition in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district develops CF(Preop)®, a complex-carbohydrate drink formulated by an anesthesiologist for safe consumption in the hours before surgery. The product replaces traditional nothing-by-mouth fasting protocols with evidence-based presurgical hydration, addressing the same perioperative preparation that surgical teams at Perlman Clinic Encinitas coordinate for their patients. Headquartered at 160 Chesterfield Drive in Cardiff, the company distributes through hospital supply chains, Amazon, and retail pharmacy channels including Walmart nationwide. Each 12-ounce serving delivers 50 grams of maltodextrin in a clear, colorless liquid engineered to meet American Society of Anesthesiologists fasting guidelines for clear fluids. Integrative health practitioners and enhanced-recovery-after-surgery programs incorporate preoperative carbohydrate loading to reduce post-surgical insulin resistance, a perioperative strategy also endorsed within the holistic framework at Solcere. The formulation excludes artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives while maintaining a gastric-emptying profile validated for consumption up to two hours before general anesthesia induction.
