Answering the unmet nutritional needs
Disease-related malnutrition may lead to an alteration of growth and development in children, as a consequence.1 It can be exceptionally challenging to meet the nutritional requirements of acutely or chronically ill children.2 Parents may need your supervision to meet their kids’ nutritional requirements.
Frebini® Drinks are specially formulated to help you support your little patients with complete nutrition they really like. Knowing that EN products are only helpful when consumed entirely, Frebini® Drinks’ great taste is approved by kids, so that they may help improve the quality of life for the whole family.
The goal of nutritional support for the paediatric patient is to provide adequate amount of energy and nutrients to fill up the energy gap.5
Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS) are used to increase the total daily protein, calorie, and micronutrient intake in order to improve weight gain and nutritional status.5
ONS have been shown to improve catch up growth in undernourished children as well as promote growth with long term usage.
Oral Nutritional Supplements (ONS):6- 8
May help to increase energy intake in a variety of diseases in children
May help to improve body weight and growth in children with a variety of diseases
May provide clinical benefits by improving the nutritional status of the child
ONS are an easy and effective way to tackle malnutrition!
