Nutricia FortiFit Powder Strawberry 280 g, 1 ST

Nutricia FortiFit Powder Strawberry is a medical nutritional drink specially designed for patients with sarcopenia. FortiFit is used for diet management in diseases associated with protein deficiency and loss of muscle mass.

The age-related decline in muscle mass and strength, scientifically defined as sarcopenia, has significant clinical consequences and severely restricts the quality of life of those affected. Above all, the loss of mobility and independence are unpleasant consequences of decreasing muscle strength in old age. Everyday activities, such as walking, climbing stairs or getting out of bed or out of chairs, become more difficult. Muscle weakness, slow gait speed and balance problems increase the risk of falls and therefore bone fractures. The use of walking aids or adaptation of the living situation may become necessary. The risk of hospitalisation or admission to a nursing home increases.

FortiFit® powder supplies the body with important muscle building blocks thanks to the ActiSyn™ complex it contains and can therefore help to maintain or rebuild muscles.

Clinically proven in geriatric patients with sarcopenia*:

• Strengthens muscle function in the lower extremities.
• Stimulates muscle protein synthesis.
• Builds muscle mass.
