Clinical Nutrition

Whey protein helps maintain body composition, secure optimal body functions, improved outcomes and faster recovery. Our muscles are vital to storing nutrients after we eat so maintaining as large a “muscle sink” as possible contributes to a healthier body composition, helping with overall health and supporting strong bones. Consuming high-quality whey protein in combination with resistance exercise helps to preserve healthy muscles and ensures our seniors enjoy better health and quality of life for longer.

The provision of timely nutritional support is of utmost importance to help patients with acute and chronic diseases secure optimal body functions, improved outcomes, and faster recovery.

The digestion and absorption of nutrients, especially protein, can be impaired in such patients to a varying degree. Optipep® specialised whey protein hydrolysates have shown positive nutritional benefits in specific conditions and need states, such as Protein Malnutrition, Critical Care, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Sarcopenia and Glycaemic Management.
