Ensuring you get the right nutrition is important particularly when you are sick or recovering from an illness or operation, undergoing cancer treatment, if you have suffered a stroke or Alzheimer’s – or have poor swallowing reflexes.

Dysphagia is the medical term for any symptom relating to difficulty in swallowing. Anyone can suffer from dysphagia, although it is most common in older adults, babies and people who suffer from problems associated with the nervous system.
Greater recognition of the condition is needed because if left untreated or not managed properly dysphagia can lead to malnutrition, dehydration, loss of weight and low energy levels which can lead to further health complications.
We stock a broad range of hospital-grade nutritional supplements and meal replacements to meet a variety of needs including supplements for the elderly, post-operative patients, those with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) and patients with diabetes.
