Clinical Nutrition

Collection: Clinical Nutrition

Clinical Nutrition Formulas

Some health conditions change what the body needs from food. Diabetes, kidney disease, chronic wounds, gut conditions and memory changes all have specialist formulas designed for them. This collection brings those together, from Nutricia, Abbott and Nestlé, for use under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian.

By Condition

Diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance: Diasip, Glucerna and Nutren Diabetes.

Kidney disease: Renilon 4.0 before dialysis, and Novasource Renal on dialysis.

Wounds and pressure injuries: Cubitan and Arginaid.

Early Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment: Souvenaid Liquid and Powder.

Gut conditions and malabsorption: Vital 1.5kcal and Elemental 028 Extra.

Energy and protein boosters: Calogen, Poly-Joule and Beneprotein.

Texture-modified: Resource Crema 2.0, aligned with IDDSI Level 3.

Why Specialist Formulas Matter

Standard supplements aren't always right for every condition. For example, Abbott recommends Glucerna rather than Ensure for people with diabetes, and renal formulas limit potassium and phosphorus. A specialist formula matches nutrition to the condition.

Who It's For

People with diagnosed conditions: Following advice from their doctor or dietitian.

Hospitals, aged care and community nursing teams.
