Fresubin 2 kcal Fibre Drink Cappuccino Bottle, 4 x 200 ml

Dietary fiber

Dietary fiber is essential for healthy digestion; it is not digested by the body but instead serves as a nutrient source for gut bacteria in the intestine.It is found primarily in plant-based foods such as whole grain products, nuts, fruit, and legumes.Thanks to its ability to bind water, it promotes digestion and supports gut flora.Fiber-enriched nutritional drinks can support metabolism and supply the body with necessary nutrients.

Age-related conditions

Excessive weight loss and malnutrition can occur in old age and in association with various medical conditions.These include intestinal disorders, metabolic diseases, cancer, swallowing disorders (dysphagia), and eating disorders.People with swallowing disorders often rely on liquid nutrition because they can no longer consume standard solid food.Older adults also frequently experience difficulty chewing and swallowing.In such cases, a nutrient-rich, convenient supplement to—or replacement for—standard food intake can be helpful.

Nutrient deficiency

A lack of nutrients can prevent the body from performing all its functions and processes optimally.Basic energy needs are met by macronutrients—such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats—which are indispensable for metabolism.These are complemented by micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals.The body relies on dietary intake to obtain these nutrients.For individuals unable to manage normal food intake, specialized nutritional drinks can offer a solution.

Area of application
