Essential nutrition support for when your body really depends on it

Critical care is a time when your body needs high quality nutrients for healing. Hospitalised patients over the age of 65 have a much greater chance of becoming malnourished, which leads to worse health outcomes and longer recovery periods.

 

Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) and tube-fed nutrition play a key role in the recovery process. This means a close balance is required to ensure that people can consume safe, high quality foods, in a format they can handle, with digestive comfort. Once discharged from hospital, these considerations are even more important for a well-controlled recovery to continue without the assistance of medical teams.

Compact nutrition to support you to do the things you want to do

At the end of our natural lives, energy wanes and the will to eat diminishes. A key wish for those in palliative care is being able to talk and interact with family. An important element of having the energy to do this is getting as much fluid and nutrition as possible in a palatable way, in formats that are interesting and tolerable.

 

It’s important to focus on supplements with a great taste and texture, giving people the opportunity to enjoy food as their interest in it wanes. Providing interesting, nutrient-dense options can help fill the gap by providing good nutrition in a time where no one wants to worry about eating enough.
