Our first product, MediDrink Plus, is intended for the nutritional management of disease-related malnutrition.
The 4 main features that characterize MediDrink Plus and highlight it on the nutritional market are the following:
Each of these features are based on current scientific research and clinical studies concerning disease-related malnutrition. In this website you can read about the benefits of the 4 features with references to the scientific work behind each conclusion. You can find these listed below as footnotes in case you would like to read further into the matter. The findings of certain scientific studies will be presented in charts, again with footnotes containing the scientific reference.
Although being a general medical nutrition product, MediDrink Plus is also addressing the recently identified specific needs of the most common medical conditions that require nutritional intervention and support such as cancer, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), CF (cystic fibrosis), IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Chron’s disease, and ulcerative colitis), AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), and dementia. MediDrink Plus can be given to a wide spectrum of patients including those diagnosed with diabetes, lactose intolerance or high blood pressure, from the young (above 3 years) to the elderly.
It is also worth noting that the majority of similar medical nutrition products have been on the market for more than a decade without any major change in components despite the several new findings about the altered metabolic pathways of different medical conditions. These study results have been rarely implemented into new formulation and compositions. MediDrink Plus has been developed with the intention of implementing these findings as the R&D process at Medifood is driven by the identified needs of different medical conditions in order to address these needs with the most adequate composition.
