The Best Ingredients
Under weight?
In the UK, BAPEN estimates that 1.3 million people over the age of 65 suffer from malnutrition.
BAPEN suggest that malnutrition within care homes is prevalent – an average of 35% of residents have a MUST score of 1 or 2.
Better nutrition and hydration care for individuals at risk can result in a better quality of life for that person. Clinical trial data show significant improvement in outcomes for care home residents using NuVu Life shakes.
Struggle to swallow?
If you or a loved one suffers with dysphagia, the NuVu shake or fortification powders are an excellent way to ensure that the body is getting the micronutrients that it needs.
On the IDDSI framework (The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation), when using the IDDSI drip test, mixed with 200ml (shake) of refrigerated whole milk, the NuVu Life shake scores 1, slightly thick in consistency, making it easier for people with swallowing difficulties to consume.
Recovering from illness?
Whether pre-op, post-op or recovering from an illness, your body must be provided with the nutrients it needs to protect, repair and recover.
Often, when discharged from the hospital we require more nourishment than we once did to get back on our feet. The NuVu Life shakes and fortification powder are a great way to boost calorie intake between meals.
NuVu Life shakes can provide much-needed nutrients as well as protein to help the body recover.
