Fortisip Compact Fibre
Nutricia introduced the first fibre containing compact 2.4kcal/ml Oral Nutritional Supplement because malnutrition and constipation are common in certain patient groups.

- Demonstrated in both short term (91% v 77%)2 and longer term studies (86% v 67%)2
- Energy and protein intake is significantly greater with a 125ml Oral Nutritional Supplement versus a 200ml Oral Nutritional Supplement1
Malnourished patients frequently have poor bowel health
Constipation is a major healthcare issue and high risk groups include older and less mobile patients and those with neurological disorders5
- These patient groups are at greater risk of malnutrition6,7
- Resulting in an inadequate intake of nutrients, including fibre6
Fibre is important for a healthy diet
A variety of fibres are required for:
- Maintaining normal gut structure and bowel function8
- Reducing constipation9
- Improving gut transit9
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) & galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) may have health benefits10
- FOS/GOS produce short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have been shown to be of importance in maintaining normal bowel structure and function8
- FOS/GOS promote the growth of beneficial bifidobacteria10,11
