Following a plant-based diet can be especially challenging if you are with or at risk of malnutrition due to:

  • Low protein intake5
  • Low vitamin D intake6
  • Low serum levels of vitamin B127
  • Low intake of minerals and trace elements such as, calcium, iodine, zinc, and selenium5

High energy, high protein tube feed, containing high-quality protein and all essential micronutrients can help tackle the risk of malnutrition without compromising on personal choices8

Malnutrition affects 33 million people in EU10

Low appetite, difficulty consuming food, and poor diet quality can result in malnutrition, negatively affecting overall health and well-being of your patients. Tube feeding can help meet nutritional needs when oral intake is insufficient or not possible.

Infographic showing prevalence of malnutrition: 1 in 4 hospital patients, 1 in 3 cancer patients, 1 in 3 patients in care homes, and 1 in 3 older people living independently.

When patients can't meet their needs through oral nutrition alone, tube feeding supports nutritional status and delivers key benefits11

  • Reduced mortality12 
  • Increasing nutritional intake13 
  • Improving nutritional status14 
  • Attenuates loss of body weight11 
  • Improving functional outcomes15 
  • Improving quality of life14 
  • Cost-effectiveness11
