23 Nov 2023 --- While many supplements targeting malnutrition are based on animal products, a Nutricia-funded study signals an emerging need for plant-based alternatives. The research finds that consuming a plant-based oral nutritional supplement (ONS) improved the dietary outcomes of patients at risk of malnutrition. Participants in the study consumed Fortisip PlantBased ONS by Nutricia — the Danone brand — for 28 days. The 24 participants of the study increased the intake of total energy, protein and the number of micronutrients meeting the UK reference nutrient intake.
