oral nutrition support

Oral nutrition support involves providing extra nutrition through food or drinks to help meet a person’s dietary needs when they can still eat but require additional calories, vitamins, or minerals. This may include enriched foods, special drinks, or supplements to promote healing, maintain strength, and prevent malnutrition. It’s often used for people who have difficulty eating enough due to illness, surgery, or aging. The goal is to ensure the body gets the nutrients it needs to recover and stay healthy, supporting overall wellbeing and functional ability.
