Nutricia Fortimel Crème Hyperénergétique Banane 4 x 200 g in our organic pharmacy, is a nutrient-rich food that helps fill the nutritional gaps in people suffering from poor appetite.
Nutricia Fortimel High-Energy Cream is a food for special medical purposes, designed to meet the nutritional needs of people with malnutrition associated with illness. This oral nutritional supplement helps increase energy and protein intake when a regular diet is no longer sufficient to meet the body’s needs.
Malnutrition can occur, in particular, when food intake decreases—for example, due to illness, convalescence, after surgery, or in some older adults. It may be accompanied by weight loss and a loss of muscle mass. In such cases, a fortified diet helps gradually restore nutritional intake.
With 400 kcal per 200-g container, this cream is a particularly energy-dense solution. It also provides 20 g of protein per container, representing 20% of total energy intake. Its format thus allows for a significant amount of calories and protein to be delivered in a relatively small volume, which can be beneficial when appetite is reduced.
Its dessert-like texture offers an alternative to liquid nutritional supplements. Ready to eat, it can be consumed chilled and easily incorporated into a snack or as a supplemental meal. Several flavors are available to facilitate variety in taste during nutritional care.
Fortimel High-Energy Cream also provides vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. It is therefore a high-energy, high-protein nutritional supplement, the use of which must be integrated into a care plan tailored to the patient’s needs and follow the recommendations of a doctor or dietitian.
To offer a variety of forms and nutritional profiles, Nutricia Fortimel Diacare 4 x 200 ml is another option worth exploring within the product line.
Directions for use: Consume 1 to 2 cups per day as a dietary supplement, or as directed by a doctor or dietitian. The product is ready to use and can be consumed chilled.

When appetite decreases, finishing a full meal can become difficult, even though nutritional needs remain high. A concentrated cream like Fortimel provides 400 kcal and 20 g of protein in a single 200 g container, without significantly increasing the volume of food. For someone who eats very little, it may be easier to offer the cup as a snack or between main meals to preserve their appetite. Varying the flavors and serving the cream chilled can also help improve acceptance. However, the daily amount should be adjusted based on nutritional needs, usual dietary habits, and the recommendations of a doctor or dietitian.
