Collection: Sustagen

SUSTAGEN Nutritional Supplements

SUSTAGEN has been a fixture in Australian healthcare for over 40 years and for good reason. Whether someone's recovering from surgery, managing poor appetite, getting older and finding it harder to eat enough, or simply needs reliable nutritional support day to day, SUSTAGEN delivers the kind of complete, balanced nutrition that actually makes a difference.

This collection covers the full range we stock: Hospital Formula powders for high-need clinical and home care situations, plus the convenient ready-to-drink Liquid format for when simplicity matters most.

What's in This Collection

The SUSTAGEN range we carry splits neatly into two camps.

• The Hospital Formula powders are the clinical backbone of the range — nutritionally complete formulas designed for people with increased nutritional needs, including those recovering from illness or surgery, managing unintentional weight loss, or dealing with poor appetite over an extended period. They're available in standard and Plus Fibre variants (for gut health support), across a handful of flavours and in both 840g tins and a 3kg bulk bag for facilities or heavy users. The neutral flavour can be mixed into food and drinks as well as taken on its own — useful when flavour fatigue sets in or when someone needs nutrition added to meals rather than consumed separately.
• The Sustagen Liquid range brings the same trusted nutrition into a ready-to-drink 250ml format — no mixing, no measuring, just open and drink. Available in Dutch Chocolate and Vanilla, they're a practical option for people on the go, those who find powder preparation difficult, or anyone who just wants something quick and easy.

Featured Products

• Nestle Sustagen Liquid — Dutch Chocolate & Vanilla (250ml)
  Ready to drink, no prep required. Each 250ml serve delivers a solid hit of protein, vitamins, and minerals in a format that's easy to take anywhere — a handbag, a hospital bag, a bedside table. Dutch Chocolate and Vanilla are both genuinely palatable, which matters when someone needs to drink one of these every day. A good option for people who find powder supplements fiddly, or who need something they can consume quickly and easily.
• Nestle Sustagen Hospital Formula (840g)
  The standard Hospital Formula in an 840g tin — a nutritionally complete powder designed for people with elevated nutritional needs. High in protein, packed with vitamins and minerals, and available in vanilla flavour. Mix with water or milk depending on the calorie and protein concentration required. The 840g size works well for home use, giving a few weeks' supply at typical serving frequencies.
• Nestle Sustagen Hospital Formula Neutral (840g)
  The same complete nutritional profile as the standard Hospital Formula, in an unflavoured neutral format. This is the one to reach for when someone has flavour fatigue from sweetened supplements, when a healthcare provider wants to add nutrition to existing food and drinks without altering the taste, or when personal preference rules out flavoured options. Mixes into soups, porridge, mashed potato, or any drink without changing what it tastes like.
• Nestle Sustagen Hospital Formula Neutral (3kg)
  The bulk format of the neutral Hospital Formula — same product, significantly more of it. The 3kg bag is the practical choice for aged care facilities, community nursing services, and home users who go through it regularly and want to reduce the cost per serve and the frequency of reordering. Better value, less faff.
• Nestle Sustagen Hospital Formula Plus Fibre — Vanilla & Chocolate (840g)
  Everything the standard Hospital Formula delivers, with added dietary fibre to support gut health and bowel regularity. An important consideration for people whose diet is heavily supplement-dependent, or for older adults where constipation is already a concern. Available in both vanilla and chocolate — useful when someone needs variety to stay consistent with their supplementation over time.
• Nestle Sustagen Hospital Formula Banana (840g)
  The banana flavour of the Hospital Formula — same complete nutritional profile, different taste. A solid option for people who find vanilla and chocolate tiring after extended use, or who simply prefer it. Currently available as a draft listing — contact us to check current availability.

Who This Collection Is For

SUSTAGEN finds its way into the lives of a pretty wide range of people — most of them dealing with something that's made eating enough genuinely difficult.

People recovering from surgery, illness, or hospitalisation, where appetite is reduced and the body needs more nutrients than usual to heal. Older Australians who are losing weight unintentionally or finding it hard to eat enough through regular meals alone. Aged care residents whose nutritional needs are being actively managed by facility staff or a dietitian. Family carers managing nutrition for a loved one at home, who need a reliable, easy-to-prepare supplement they can trust. And NDIS participants with nutritional support needs, for whom a straightforward purchasing process makes a real difference.

Hospital Formula is specifically formulated for elevated nutritional needs — it's not a casual wellness drink. If someone is using it as a primary nutritional support, involvement from a GP or dietitian is worthwhile to get the serving frequency and concentration right.
