We believe that the BEST ingredients go into our Shakes, Desserts and Fortification.
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
Struggle to swallow?
If you or a loved one suffers with dysphagia, the Nuvu shake, dessert 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) and 150ml (dessert) of refridgerated whole milk, the Liqui-Life Shake scores a 1 and the Desserts score a 4. This translates as slightly and moderately thick in consistency, making it easier for people with swallowing difficulties to consume.
Recovering from illness?
Whether you are pre-op, post-op or recovering from an illness, your body must be provided with the nutrients that it needs to protect, repair and aid recovery.
Often, people that have been discharged from hospital require more nourishment than they once did to get them back on their feet again. The Nuvu shake, dessert or fortification powders are a great way to boost calorie intake between meals.

When mixed with 200ml of whole milk (as recommended) one of our nutrition shakes will provide from 26.9g- 28.8g of protein.
