Nestlé Nutrition nutritional supplement addresses malnutrition amongst elderly

In line with Nestlé’s focus on nutrition as part of its creating shared value strategy, Nestlé Nutrition is taking a pro-active approach to the problems of malnutrition amongst older adults. Nestlé Nutrition is launching Resource® SeniorActiv to target the unique nutritional needs of the elderly. Resource® SeniorActiv is the first nutritionally complete oral supplement of its kind. It will be introduced in 2010 in Switzerland and progressively rolled out in key European countries. At the same time, the company is globally introducing the revised Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA®SF) for older people. This tool will help medical practitioners to better identify those who would most benefit from oral nutritional supplements.
