First high-energy, high-protein medical nutrition researched together with cancer patients
Some cancer patients lose muscle and lose weight, and research shows that weight loss of more than 5% affects treatment outcomes.
FORTISIP provides 2.45 kcal per ml, the highest energy and highest protein nutritional supplement on the market, helping patients maintain weight and the energy they need. Cancer and its treatment can cause a range of side effects, such as poor appetite, mouth ulcers and difficulty swallowing, which lead to inadequate intake, malnutrition and weight loss.
FORTISIP is the smallest bottle of medical nutrition on the market, ready to drink and easy to take. A small bottle is easier for patients to accept, and eases the pressure of worrying about finishing a portion. Cancer and its treatment can also affect a patient's sense of taste, and a change in taste affects appetite, nutritional intake and weight.
A range of flavors is available so patients can pick one they like to encourage appetite, and switch whenever their preference changes.
Two bottles a day is suggested, taken between meals as a nutritional supplement.
*Mixed flavors cannot be selected on the twin pack offer
