Oral nutrient formulations
When food fortification is not feasible or effective, the next option is oral supplements.
Oral nutrient formulations are a class of liquid nutritional supplements that provide macronutrients and micronutrients.
As they are designed to be consumed orally, taste and form are important for this and the variety in flavours facilitates compliance by paediatric patients.
WHY ORAL NUTRIENT FORMULATIONS ARE NEEDED
Effective and non-invasive solution for the treatment of malnutrition
They are an effective and non-invasive solution for the treatment of malnutrition associated with disease in the population of pediatric patients in conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Congenital Heart Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Hepatopathy, Cancer, etc. ensuring optimal physical and mental development and improving the long-term development of their health.
Some drinking nutrient formulations are designed for specific conditions with specific adaptations in their macronutrient and micronutrient components and/or texture to meet the specific needs of each condition.
