Who Is Supportan® For?

Supportan is a Food for Special Medical Purposes designed for the dietary management of patients with or at risk of malnutrition, in particular with cancer, chronic catabolic diseases and/or cachexia.

Cancer and its treatment can sometimes reduce appetite and may increase nutritional needs, which can make it harder to maintain adequate nutrition during different stages of cancer care.
