Nutrition Support for Different Needs and Stages of Care

Tube feeding may be recommended when eating and drinking cannot safely or adequately meet a person’s nutritional needs. It can provide some or all of the nutrition required, either temporarily or as part of a longer-term nutrition plan.

Fresubin* tube feeds provide energy, protein, fluids, vitamins and minerals to help maintain nutritional status, support strength and meet the body’s ongoing needs.¹–³

The range includes options for adults and children with different nutritional requirements. Your healthcare team will recommend the most appropriate tube feed, feeding routine and level of support for your individual needs.

The Fresubin range is designed to suit a variety of nutritional needs and diagnoses. Products include drinks with a protein content of less than 20% of the energy value as well as drinks with a protein content of at least 20% of the energy value. Fresubin's products have been tailored to suit children and adults, including oncology patients, those with malabsorption, kidney insufficiencies, liver insufficiencies, impaired glucose metabolism or dysphagia.

Nutrition is important, but so is your routine. Fresubin products are designed to be both effective and easy to use.
