NutriniDrink Paediatric Nutritional Powder

Description

Nutricia NutriniDrink Powder is a nutritionally complete paediatric oral nutrition powder for children aged 1–12 years. Classified as a Food for Special Medical Purposes, it is intended for the dietary management of disease‑related malnutrition, increased energy/protein needs, or faltering growth, and should be used under medical supervision. Formulated for paediatric requirements, it provides a higher fat percentage, lower protein percentage, and less iron than typical adult supplements. Suitable for children with a functional or partially functional gastrointestinal tract, it can be used as a supplement or as a sole source of nutrition as directed. Available in Vanilla and Neutral (unflavoured) variants.
