Nutrition and Diseases
Many diseases and conditions can be addressed with specialised nutrition as a complement to drug therapy, either directly or because nutritional support helps patients to find the strength they need to battle their condition.
The science of nutrition is rapidly evolving, and continues to demonstrate the potential for new methods of disease management, targeted to specific diseases or health challenges. Nutrition research has been successful and is still ongoing in areas as diverse as immunity/HIV and neurology/brian function. Already, Nutricia patients can be found across a very broad range of therapy areas:
- Cancer
- Stroke
- Paediatric malnutrition
- Elderly malnutrition
- Diabetes
- Sarcopenia
- Dysphagia
- Renal failure
- Decubitusa / pressure sores
- COPD / Respiratory disease
- Infant allergy to cow's milk
- Inborn errors of metabolism
- Drug-resistant epilepsy
