  • The power of Fortisip® Compact Protein

Fortisip® Compact Protein provides 306kcal and 18g of protein in just one 125ml bottle and is designed to help improve body weight2,4 and nutritional status2,4,5 during disease-related malnutrition. It offers several key benefits including:

✓ High compliance compared to dietary advice1

✓ Six flavours to help improve patient satisfaction2

✓ A range of sensory-adapted flavours to address taste and smell alterations of cancer patients.6

Healthcare professionals can be confident the smaller serving (125ml) will provide the right nutritional profile for their patients, while improving compliance.1

  • Low-volume ONS (125ml) versus standard ONS (200ml)

Finding an easier and more pleasant ONS for your patients to consume, may help them meet their nutritional needs when their usual diet is not enough7.

The evidence shows that low-volume, high-energy ONS improve nutrition therapy compliance when compared to a standard ONS8 making it easier for patients to adhere to their recommended dose.

Clinical studies also demonstrate that low-volume ONS, such as Fortisip® Compact Protein, help patients increase their energy and protein intake2,8-10 and meet their micronutrient requirements5. Other benefits include improved patient outcomes1-4,10 and nutritional status1-4 as well as reduced hospital admissions and healthcare use1,2.

More nutrition in less volume means better patient outcomes.1-3

LESS volume, HIGH compliance1: Patients are more likely to consume their required nutrition with a smaller serving size, supporting better adherence to dietary plans,1 higher energy and protein intake2,8-10, reduced malnutrition risk1-4, and reduced hospital admissions.1,2

LESS wastage, MORE nutrient intake: The reduced volume of Fortisip® Compact Protein helps decrease waste, ensuring both better resource management and nutrient intake for your patients.11

LESS volume, MORE choices: Offering patients the widest range of flavours available in the ONS category, supporting better adherence to meet nutritional requirements and reduce the risk of malnutrition.1-4 The Fortisip® Compact Protein range meets individual taste preferences, including flavours that have been developed for cancer patients experiencing taste alterations.6

Fortisip® Compact and Fortisip® Compact Protein tackle key challenges healthcare professionals and patients encounter in clinical nutrition.

Malnutrition

Effective intervention for malnutrition can’t wait. This is a common issue among patients, particularly those who are elderly or have chronic conditions. It can lead to complications, delayed recovery from illness and increased healthcare costs.12,13

Fortisip® Compact Protein provides a high protein, high-energy solution to help combat malnutrition and reduce the risk for patients.

A clinical study showed that 52% of high-risk malnutrition patients reduced their risk of malnutrition when using Fortisip® Compact Protein.1

Compliance

Ensuring patients consume their prescribed oral nutritional supplements can be challenging, especially when larger volumes are involved.

With its compact 125ml format, Fortisip® Compact Protein results in significantly higher patient satisfaction and supports high compliance.#1,2

This smaller volume helps patients consume their required nutrition more easily, contributing to better health outcomes.1-4 There are also six delicious flavours for patients to choose from.

Wastage

In clinical settings, large ONS volumes may lead to significant wastage, as patients struggle to finish their serving.

Fortisip® Compact Protein addresses this by offering a smaller serving size, significantly increasing energy and protein intake.11

A 2023 pilot study showed trends toward reduced wastage when patients consumed Fortisip® Compact Protein compared to a standard 200ml ONS.11 

Healthcare Utilisation

Poor nutrition can lead to extended hospital stays, frequent readmissions, and increased GP visits, all of which place a burden on healthcare systems.

Fortisip® Compact Protein has been shown to reduce healthcare utilisation, contributing to a 48% reduction in hospital stay length, 49% fewer hospital admissions, and 21% fewer GP visits.1
